Pere Miró, deputy secretary general of the IOC, informed the African governing body in a strongly-worded letter seen by insidethegames.

Miró criticised the decision to postpone NOCK elections last month and called for them to be held as soon as possible.

The Extraordinary General Assembly where the elections were due to be held was called off by NOCK chairman Kipchoge Keino minutes before it was due to start on May 5 after he was served with a writ from the High Court in Nairobi.

It had been obtained by the Kenya Taekwondo Association (KTA) after they banned from taking part in the elections due to a leadership row at the organisation.

An appeal is due to be shortly by the High Court. 

A letter sent by Keino to IOC President Thomas Bach, dated June 6, called for the financial ban to be lifted with the organisation claiming they are facing a "financial crisis" through no fault of its own.

Keino has also alleged a "well calculated scheme meant to achieve one sided results not supported by any democratic principles".

Miró, though, claimed the IOC have not seen enough to change their decision.

"As things stand, and given that the case initiated by the KTA is still ongoing, we can only hope and wait for a prompt decision from the High Court in order for the Elective General Assembly to resume accordingly and, hopefully, conclude as soon as possible," Miró wrote in his letter.

"In the meantime, as there is obviously no progress in this situation, there is no reason why the IOC should re-consider its decision to withhold its payments and subsidies to your National Olympic Committee (NOC).

"As you know, this decision was taken not only because of the current situation, but also due to the fact that a significant number of Olympic Solidarity programmes and funding allocated to your NOC have yet to be justified in accordance with the Olympic Solidarity standards and requirements."

In his June 6 letter, Keino expressed concern over "partisan roles by some individuals within the IOC, regrettably to the detriment of NOCK".

This has also been refuted by Miró.

"We formally reject your groundless allegations against the IOC officials who have spared no effort (for almost one year now) to facilitate and ensure the smooth and peaceful implementation of the road-map agreed upon between all parties," he wrote.

"Unfortunately, these allegations look like another attempt to avoid addressing the real issues."

Miró continued: "As you know, the IOC's role is to work for the interest of the Olympic and Sports Movement and the athletes as a whole, in accordance with the Olympic Charter and the principles and rules of the Olympic Movement.

"It is in this spirit that a road-map was established in September 2016 in agreement with all concerned parties.

"However, the deadlines mentioned in this road-map have not been respected, despite tireless efforts from the IOC, with a great deal of understanding and patience, to assist your NOC in completing the agreed process.

"A complete update on this situation will be provided at the next meeting of the IOC Executive Board on July 9 and 10, which will reserve the right to take any further action in accordance with the Olympic Charter."

The IOC has the power to suspend the NOCK if there is no progress, although they have so far appeared reluctant to do this. 

The NOCK has been facing this threat since last year's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

They only passed constitutional changes requested by the IOC in March.

Former marathon world record holder and IOC member Paul Tergat will stand unopposed at the election to replace Keino.

The decision to bar both the KTA and the Kenyan Cycling Federation, also suspended because of a row over who is leading it, was taken by the Centre for Multiparty Democracy-Kenya, an independent organisation brought in by the NOCK to oversee the election.

It meant that Stephen Kiptanui arap Soi and James Chacha were unable to be nominated for the roles of the deputy secretary general and deputy treasurer respectively.

Soi and Chacha are among four Kenyan officials facing charges of theft and embezzlement following the disappearance of cash and equipment meant to help Kenya's athletes prepare for Rio 2016.

Soi was the team's Chef de Mission.

Keino, President of NOCK since 1999, was ruled ineligible from standing after proving unable to find a National Federation to propose him.
