"content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to give this Ministerial Statement on the circumstances that led to Harambee Stars dismal performance in the recently concluded CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup. I wish to inform the House that Harambee Stars was not well prepared for CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup held in Dar-es-Salaam. The team was in the camp for only four days before they departed for Dar-es-Salaam. The team had also assembled nine new players who had just joined the team. So, they had not trained with the team before, meaning there was no adequate time for the team to interact and blend together as a team. I also would like to inform the House that Harambee Stars was facing a very stiff competition from other countries that were playing in this tournament, notably Malawi and Uganda who are currently ranked above Kenya. Malawi is ranked 17th in Africa and 74th in the world; Uganda is ranked 13th in Africa and 69th in the world and Kenya is currently ranked 30th in Africa and 116th in the world. So, that is the ranking of Kenya."
