YEP Moi did indeed sabotage CAN 1996 for political reasons. Moi was a football fan but politics outweighed his fandom. As a result of the fiasco, Kenya was banned from both 1996 and 1998 CAN tournaments.

In the case of Uhuru, I think he and his cabinet simply don't care about sports. He probably doesn't even know what CHAN is. Nor does he care if Kenya is banned by CAF again.

I personally think KFF should stop bidding for tournaments until we actually have stadia in place. Its better to focus on building grassroots football and youth development.

Confirmed:-(

Very shameful. Wario is still in office... this is Kenya

[quote=Much Know]Reason: "Political Uncertainty"[/quote]

If the stadia were ready, political uncertainty would not have been a factor.
This event was awarded to Kenya in 2014 yet 4 out of 5 stadia are not ready.
And those seats at Kasarani without backrest are horrible. All in all , CAF inspectors are not impressed with Kenya.

Kenya leaders don't see the economic and social benefits of sports. But they are quick to pose for photo opportunities when a person wins a medal. That's why after Rio 2016, the athletes refused to pose for pictures with politicians.
