Former Harambee Stars defender Richard “Madez” Madegwa feels Kenya’s football troubles are far from over if the latest incidents in the country are anything to go by.

From favouritism in national team player-selection to misappropriations of funds by successive Football Associations, lack of enough qualified coaches, greedy officials, stagnated leagues and under-remunerated players, the outspoken former AFC Leopards and Tusker, previously Kenya Breweries, the fullback has seen it all in the Kenyan football.
