On February 10, 2016, Kenyan football was liberated from the sharks, who have strangled it for ages.
It was a new dawn in the country as the youthful Nick Mwendwa (right) was elected Football Kenya Federation president. This was a new dawn because of the policies that this Team Change espoused in their campaigns.
However, real work begins and I hope that the Mwendwa team has hit the ground running. There is no more time to waste given that the president's in-tray is full. Football is the most popular sport in the world. Due to lack of proper management, Kenyan football has been unable to attract sponsors.
The team therefore should work with all stakeholders in the public and private sector to attract funds to sort out issues of player allowances, motivation and proper preparation during competitions among other things.
They should also hold discussions with Kenya Premier League and other stakeholders to change the cycle of our league to fit the major European leagues. This will mean that we start our league in August and end in May so that we fit into international friendlies without affecting our league.
The new team should also invest resources in soccer development and talent sourcing from the grassroots level.
