Harambee Stars players are once again in line for bigger bonuses, as President Ruto has pledged to award each player Ksh2.5 million if they triumph over Zambia in their final Group A match.
President Ruto made the announcement on Monday, August 11, at the Pullman Hotel in Upper Hill, Nairobi, during a meeting with the players following their impressive 1-0 win over Morocco.
During the meeting, Ruto assured the players of his earlier promise of Ksh1 million for every group game player but raised the stakes higher for the final group match against Zambia.

In addition, the Head of State also promised to award each Harambee Stars player Ksh1 million and an affordable housing unit should they secure a victory in the quarter-final of the African Nations Championships (CHAN 2024).
“The Harambee Stars are proof of what unity can achieve. They have brought the country together, and we are all witnessing the success it is bringing to the nation. We stand behind you, praying that this time we win will CHAN because it’s within close reach,” Ruto noted in a statement.
