Kamura eyeing Harambee Stars return

KCB central defender Robinson Kamura is a man on the mission to fight for his return to the Kenya Harambee Stars squad.

Kamura ditched Ingwe for the bankers last month, after falling out with the technical bench,  and was consequently drooped from the first team squad under head coach Patrick Aussems.

“I am also looking forward to a call up to return to the national team because I understand the only threshold for this is to work hard in your club and convince the Harambee Stars tacticians of my worth,” Kamura stated.

Together with the rest of his former teammates, Kamura also endured tough times, going for months without salaries which forced 17 players to decamp from Leopards.

Meanwhile, Mathare United captain David ‘Cheche’ Ochieng has called upon the government to start offering grants to local teams.

The widely travelled player says Kenya’s football landscape is yet to hit the level of attracting big sponsors, hence the need to bridge the gap by the government and stabilise the ever struggling teams.

“Hopefully things will improve although the government seems not to be helping matters at all. The government should even had settled long time ago to give like Sh. 300m annually so as the money could help these clubs.

“It that would have been the case then you wouldn’t have heard of a player suffering somewhere.

Nevertheless this is how our country is and we have nothing we can do about it,” Ochieng underscored.

Mathare escaped relegation by a whisker last season, majorly due to the financial struggles they went through especially after Covid-19 struck.
