President William Ruto has nominated former Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba as the new CS for Youth Affairs, Sports and the Arts.
“Harambee Stars stand banned by Fifa from international football since February 25, 2022. They are missing out on Afcon 2023 qualifiers among other competitions. Fifa should be robustly engaged to solve the impasse even as this ban period is smartly used to reinvigorate local football,” tweeted Namwamba a day before his nomination.
Namwamba, who will be vetted by MPs on Friday from 2.30 pm, has hinted at engaging Fifa to have Kenya’s suspension lifted.
