Let’s face it, Kenyan football is going nowhere

Let’s start from the conclusion and then we can fill in the details as we go along: Harambee Stars, comma, will not qualify for the FIFA World Cup in Russia in 2018 and in Qatar in 2022 because Kenyan football is going nowhere. Period. The other day, I came across an article that read as if it had been written by a pro-establishment lawyer because it was being economical with lies just to massage some big guy.

Actually, it was written by a pro-establishment lawyer since it was ingratiatingly unctuous and went on and on about cheering on Harambee Stars, Kenya’s deader than a dodo national football team, in the next FIFA World Cup. No matter how young they are, some of Kenya’s pro-establishment lawyers are very optimistic in a senile way. They are also easily excitable and juvenile, nay, childlike — and they give millions whose certificates are held up in public schools hope that they can become advocates of the High Court of Kenya without setting foot in law school.
