A player in the women’s national football team — Harambee Starlets — recently wrote to The Defender on behalf of her colleagues who wished to remain anonymous for fear of victimisation by the Football Kenya Federation (FKF).

The shocking email read in part: “We have been suffering in silence in the hands of the federation. Those who dare raise the issue of outstanding allowances risk being left out of the national team squad.”
