In a statement released on Sunday, August 17, ODM noted that the party leader assured the national team that he will award each player Ksh500,000 for their win.
“Party Leader Raila Odinga has promised to give Harambee Stars Ksh500,000 each after beating Chipolopolo of Zambia 1-0 at an entertaining match staged at the Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani. Together with President William Ruto, they visited the team after the game,” the party announced.

Notably, President Ruto had also promised to award each player Ksh2.5 million if they beat Zambia and Ksh1 million and a house if they advance past the quarter-finals.
In his statement after the Sunday game, Ruto congratulated the team for their win and promised to honour his promises.
“At the beginning of the CHAN tournament, no one gave our Harambee Stars a chance of going past the group stages. After all, we were in the so-called “Group of Death.” Yet, our boys have triumphed. Congratulations, Harambee Stars! You have done the nation proud, inspired immense joy, and united our country in celebration. Now, march forward and conquer the continent. Do not settle for less — just as we, as a nation, must never settle for anything less than glory. As for me — I will play my part. After all, the cure for debt is paying it off.”
Harambee Stars secured first place in Group A after a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Zambia at Kasarani Stadium on Sunday, August 17.
