President William Ruto has promised each Harambee Stars player a KSh2.5 million if they defeat Zambia next Sunday.
Speaking during the meeting with the team, the head of state noted that, a triumph in the CHAN quarter-finals would see each player receive KSh1 million and a two-bedroom affordable housing unit in a location of their choice.
“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,” stated President Ruto.
He also assured the team of the nation’s unwavering support.
“We stand behind you, praying that this time we win will CHAN because it’s within close reach,” added the President.
Additionally, the president highlighted the need for unity in the country.
“We must never allow negativity, failure, or doubt to stand in the way of our dreams. By believing in ourselves and shutting the door to division and hate, Kenya can become the great nation we all aspire to build,” remarked the President.
The Presidents’ promise comes after the team’s victory over Morocco, which secured their qualification for the knockout stages of the ongoing African Nations Championship (CHAN)
