What an outstanding performance! After a resounding 4-0 victory against hosts Malawi in the recently concluded four-nation’s tournament, many Kenyans might have anticipated the usual inconsistency from our national team, perhaps fearing a loss in the next match or faltering in the final. However, to our delight, the team displayed remarkable consistency and determination, culminating in a convincing 3-1 win over Zimbabwe to clinch the tournament title.

One cannot overlook the significant contribution of the team captain, coupled with the collective zeal, zest, and passion exhibited by the entire squad. It’s evident that motivation has permeated the team, leading to consecutive victories, not just by narrow margins, but with significant goal differences.

Credit must be given to the Ministry of Youth and Sports for their commendable efforts thus far. Their role in fostering a conducive environment for sporting success cannot be overstated. Moving forward, it is imperative for the Cabinet Secretary for Youth and Sports to sustain these efforts and prioritize diversity across all sports and talent pools. There is a need to implement mechanisms for talent identification, even at the grassroots level, to ensure that promising individuals from remote villages are given the opportunity to thrive and contribute to the nation’s sporting legacy.

CS Ababu has evidently identified areas for improvement within the ministry, and his proactive approach is commendable. It is incumbent upon him to continue pushing boundaries and exploring innovative strategies to further elevate Kenyan sports on the global stage. With sustained dedication and investment, Kenya may transition from mere participation to genuine competitiveness in events such as the World Cup.
