Football Kenya Federation has attributed the appointment of three of its referees to officiate at the Africa Nations Championship to sustained training of referees, instructors and the general discipline of the Kenya match officials.

Speaking after the Confederation of African Football (Caf) added assistant referee Gilbert Cheruiyot to the roster for the CHAN tournament that begins on Saturday, FKF Head of Technical Committee Elly Mukolwe said: “It is a pleasant surprise although going by what we have put in in terms of training and preaching the need to do things the right way, we can now see the fruits.”
