‘Ghost’ Mulee explains why he picked Origi for Kenya over Otieno and Matasi

The Harambee Stars tactician comes out to defend his choice of the keeper despite conceding three goals in two Afcon matches

Harambee Stars coach Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee has explained the reason he gave the starting role to veteran custodian Arnold Origi during the Africa Cup of Nations double-header against Comoros.

The Norwegian-based keeper was making a return to the national team after five years out and was drafted straight into the starting eleven as Kenya secured a 1-1 draw against the island nation in the first meeting and then kept his position in the reverse fixture as the team lost 2-1 in Moroni.
