    Stabilization Committee of the Kenya Swimming Federation

    Mr Jace Naidoo
    Chairman

    Lausanne, 20 June 2023

    Re : Stabilization Committee of the Kenya Swimming Federation

    Dear Chairman Naidoo,

    Dear Stabilization Committee’s Members,

    We have been informed that the Stabilization Committee of the Kenya Swimming

    Federation has received a cease and desist notice requesting, in brief, that it

    renounce the holding of the two general assemblies scheduled on 24 June 2023
    and 8 July 2023, the latter being an elective general assembly and supposedly the

    end of a long-standing, flawed situation within Kenya.

    In this respect, we recall that a prior FINA Bureau suspended the Kenya Swimming

    Federation on 12 December 2019. More than three years later, and despite the

    assistance of this Stabilization Committee for almost one year, the situation is still

    not resolved.

    At the current time, while we appreciate the progress and note the extensive

    engagements conducted with the Kenyan Stakeholders which should culminate

    in the two aforementioned general assemblies, we have also noted the attempts

    by the petitioners who seek to disrupt the roadmap that shall lead to the
    regularization of the situation and, therefore, to the review of the suspension

    status by the World Aquatics Bureau

    These attempts are likely to prevent, once again, the national federation’s situation

    from being brought into conformity. This is unacceptable, and worse, shows that,

    any assistance and help from World Aquatics for the necessary reforms have

    been resisted, showing no interest or willingness to act in accordance with the

    World Aquatics Constitution or the principles enshrined in such Constitution.


    Against this background, the World Aquatics Bureau is considering imposing

    additional sanctions to the Kenya Swimming Federation, which may consist, in

    accordance with Articles 8.3 lit. a), b), d), e) and/or f) of the World Aquatics
    Constitution, (i) a further suspension of the Kenya Swimming Federation, but with

    additional consequences to be defined, notably to exclude Athletes, Athlete

    Support Personnel and/or Officials from any World Aquatics competitions and

    events or any World Aquatics activities or positions or bodies; or (ii) an exclusion

    of the Kenya Swimming Federation. Further measures are possible, under the

    World Aquatics Constitution.

    In accordance with Article 8.4 of the World Aquatics Constitution, you are hereby

    requested to comment on the foregoing by 26 June 2023.

    As always, please let our office know if you have any questions.

    Respectfully yours,

    Brent J. Nowicki
    Executive Director

    Cc: National Olympic Committee Kenya; Confédération Africaine de Natation Amateur
