Officials in Harambee Stars fiasco must resign

Football in Kenya has, in many instances, been thrown to disarray due to poor leadership.

Sports Cabinet Secretary Hassan Wario, FKF Chairman Sam Nyamweya and football officials either lack a clear agenda or they do not stand for anything.

Cape Verde landed two weeks ago and trained in Kenya, then played a match at the Nyayo National Stadium with Harambee Stars in which they lost 1-0.

Ahead of our national team’s travel for a return match last week, the players were delayed due to lack of co-ordination. Listening to Nyamweya say on national television that he was looking for the Sports Ministry officials to get the tickets on a weekend just shows how confused he is.

The cabinet secretary too could have helped the situation and ensured the flight to and from Cape Verde was ready a week ahead of the return match.

Fifa rules do not allow governments to interfere with running of football but sometimes there is need. Those linked to Harambee Stars fiasco must resign.
