Time for Harambee stars to improve is now

Harambee Stars yesterday displayed a positive improvement against Zambia despite being held up on a 1-1 draw and also finishing bottom of their group. The team’s performance gave hope for a better future which can be achieved if the usual core issues that have always demoralized the players are solved once and for all.

Given that we are in a country where we experience ethnic divisions, the national football is one of the factors that can pull us together and unite us if the government can invest in it and offer financial support. Much is needed to be done by the football governing body and core issues such as allowances and salary delays dealt with appropriately. The fans on the other hand need to be patient and always rally behind the team despite the results they produce. It is in order for them to criticize the technical benches in case of disappointment but they should never involve themselves in acts of hooliganism.
