🔴RUTO VOWS $20,000 BONUS FOR KENYAN FOOTBALL PLAYERS IF THEY DEFEAT ZAMBIA IN CHAN
President William Ruto has promised each Kenyan player about $20,000 if they win Sunday’s CHAN match against Zambia.
They have already made $20,000 each in the competition so far, and they deserve every cent.
He shared this on his official Facebook page.
Unity has always propelled us forward. We must never allow negativity, failure, or doubt to prevent us from reaching our full potential. If we believe in ourselves and refuse to let division or hate enter the equation, Kenya can become the great nation we all dream of.
The Harambee Stars are proof of what unity can achieve. They have brought the country together and we are all witnessing the success it is bringing to the nation. We stand behind you, praying that this time we win will CHAN because it’s within close reach.
Met the team to congratulate them on their victory over Morocco and their historic qualification for the CHAN knockout stages.
We’ve also agreed on rewards: A win against Zambia next Sunday will earn each player KSh2.5 million. If they triumph in the quarter-finals, each will be gifted KSh1 million and a two-bedroom affordable housing unit in a location of their choice.
Chipolopolo Pray for a CHAN Resurrection After Double Defeat
After a second straight baptism of fire at the CHAN tournament this time a 2-1 “laying on of hands” courtesy of Angola Chipolopolo Coach Avram Grant has urged the nation not to lose faith. “Do not rule us out,” he proclaimed, sounding less like a football coach and more like a visiting evangelist at a revival meeting.
The loss leaves Zambia bottom of Group A with zero points, a spot in the table that biblical scholars might liken to “the valley of dry bones.” But Grant insists a resurrection is still possible in the remaining must-win fixtures against Morocco and Kenya, a feat that would require nothing short of the parting of the Red Sea or at least the Angolan defense.
Grant found reasons to be cheerful, noting “significant improvement” from the opening game against the DRC. He praised the squad for creating seven goal-scoring chances against Angola, even if only one found the net. “We multiplied our shots like loaves and fishes,” he said, “though unfortunately, most of them turned into crumbs.”
