Kenyan government suspends board

Reports are circulating that Ochillo Ayacko, Kenya's minister of sports, has disbanded the Kenyan Cricket Association.

If so, this would be the second time that the government has intervened in Kenyan cricket's escalating internal crisis. In May 2002 Francis Nyenze, Ayacko's predecessor, disbanded the KCA executive committee citing financial mismanagement and replaced it with a caretaker committee. On that occasion the KCA went to court to get the decision overturned.
