The stakes have never been higher for Kenya’s national football team, Harambee Stars, as they kick off their campaign in the ongoing CHAN tournament, with former Nairobi Governor and flamboyant politician Mike Sonko adding major firepower to the players’ incentive package, promising a staggering Sh400 million bonus if the team wins the championship.
This generous pledge comes on the heels of President William Ruto’s announcement of performance-based cash rewards for the national team.
