Confusion mars Harambee Stars preparations

Kenya’s Harambee Stars returned home by road yesterday after  abruptly pulling out of the CECAFA Four-Nation tournament in Arusha, Tanzania — a move that has left many Kenyans questioning the seriousness of the country’s preparations for the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).

While their Group A rivals Morocco and DR Congo are locking horns with some of Africa’s top teams in high-level friendly matches, Kenya is back to square one — without a single competitive build-up game under their belt with less than two weeks to go before the tournament kicks off on August 2.
