The Cabinet Secretary pledged the government’s support to the team ahead of the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, which Kenya is set to take part in for the first time in 15 years.
“I want to wish you well as you represent the country on this big stage,” said Amina.
“For as long as I am here, I want to assure you of my full support. Kenyans are fully behind you and we are looking forward to positive results.”
Stars are preparing for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations set to kick off on 21 June in Egypt showpiece.
