Joe Kadenge, Mahmoud Abbas, criticise Mukolwe

Football Kenya Federation National Executive Member for Western Elly Mukolwe has come under severe criticism following his remarks that former footballers had nothing to be proud of as legends.

Legendary Kenyan footballers Mahmoud Abbas and Joe Kadenge said former players deserve respect from Mukolwe and other Kenyans.

"Where did Mukolwe get the guts to attack former footballers? We have done a lot to this country during our hey-days and Mukolwe need to publicly apologise to us," said Abbas.

Kenya's celebrated goalkeeper said Mukolwe should not attack former players because he is in leadership of FKF.

Mukolwe was quoted in the media having told former footballers to keep off soccer matters as they had nothing to offer, saying Kenyan football cannot be built on history.
