Harambee Stars are proof of what unity can achieve, says Ruto

President William Ruto has called on Kenyans to unite, saying unity has always propelled the country forward.

Speaking Monday when he met the Harambee Stars to congratulate them on their victory over Morocco, the president said Kenyans must never allow negativity, failure, or doubt to prevent them from reaching their full potential.

The head of state said that if Kenyans believe in themselves and shun division and hate, Kenya can become a great nation.

“Unity has always propelled us forward. We must never allow negativity, failure, or doubt to prevent us from reaching our full potential. If we believe in ourselves and refuse to let division or hate enter the equation, Kenya can become the great nation we all dream of,” he said.

He said the Harambee Stars are proof of what unity can achieve, adding that the team has united the country. President Ruto has at the same time increased his reward for Harambee Stars, promising Ksh2.5 million for each player if they win next Sunday’s game against Zambia.

“The Harambee Stars are proof of what unity can achieve. They have brought the country together, and we are all witnessing the success it is bringing to the nation. We stand behind you, praying that this time we win will CHAN because it’s within close reach”, the President said.

If the team triumphs in the quarterfinals, each player will be awarded a million shillings and a two-bedroom unit under the Affordable Housing Programme, at a location of their choice.

“A win against Zambia next Sunday will earn each player KSh2.5 million. If they triumph in the quarter-finals, each will be gifted Ksh1 million and a two-bedroom affordable housing unit in a location of their choice”, he promised.
