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

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.
