Electing incompetent people to Football Kenya Federation leadership positions is the main impediment in the growth of football in Nakuru County, participants at stakeholders’ forum have said.

The stakeholders decried the region’s failure to produce players good enough to be selected into the National football team, Harambee Stars, which they said was an indicator of the falling standards.
