The government has disbursed Ksh42 million to the Harambee Stars following their win against the Democratic Republic of Congo in the opening game of the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).
Despite President William Ruto promising the players Ksh1 million each for every tournament win, questions remained over how many players would receive the reward.
“President William Ruto has fulfilled his commitment to pay KSh1 million each to all 27 Harambee Stars players and 15 members of the technical bench, a total of KSh42 million, following the national team’s 1-0 win over the DRC on Sunday,” part of the statement read.
Kenya’s victory against the DRC came courtesy of a solitary goal by Gor Mahia playmaker Austine Odhiambo, who struck at the stroke of half-time with a lovely solo effort.
