Ochieng, chairman of the Kenya Weightlifting Federation, resigned due to the current crisis within the NOCK.

In an attempt to address the issues, a "consultative" meeting has been called by the NOCK later this week for all of their members.

The Kenyan Table Tennis Association (KTTTA), have refused to attend, however, after they claimed the meeting scheduled for Thursday (June 29) will be in "contempt of court".

An Extraordinary General Assembly, where the overdue 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 were banned from taking part in the elections due to a leadership row at the organisation.

The KTA are among the sporting organisations in Kenya invited to the meeting.

In a letter addressed to NOCK secretary general Francis K Paul and seen by insidethegames, the KTTA claim they will not be "attending any meetings that might seek to rubber stamp decisions and at this moment due to past experience, we cannot say that we are disappointed but rather say we are not amused with the action taken for calling of such a meeting".

They have instead urged the whole NOCK board to quit.

The KTTA claim they were ""encouraged" by the resignation of Ocheing, who is 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 last year's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

The KTTA praised Ochieng for resigning "so that a way forward" can be found.

The organisation also accused the NOCK of failing to distribute a letter from Pere Miró, deputy secretary general of the International Olympic Committee, which warned that the suspension on payments and subsidies will remain in place as "no progress" has been made in the country's election crisis.

In the strongly-worded letter, Miró criticised the decision to postpone NOCK elections last month and called for them to be held as soon as possible.

"Finally, we have been given a copy of the IOC letter dated 21st June 2017, and we note that you were directed by IOC, for sake of transparency to circulate the letter to all members of the Executive Board and General Assembly of NOCK and just like from previous correspondence from IOC, this has not been done," the KTTA letter, signed by President Andrew Mudibo, said.

"Could you kindly let us know by return mail why instructions from IOC are not being relayed to members of the General Assembly?"

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 Rio 2016.

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 also facing charges of theft and embezzlement.
