'We do not appreciate our own players' - Vihiga United's Okoth

Vihiga United head coach Sammy Okoth believes players in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League should feel valued for them to feel motivated and give their best on the pitch.

Initially, even in the national team, the players abroad have been given first priority even when they are struggling for playing time in their respective clubs. However, in recent Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Harambee Stars head coach Jacob 'Ghost' Mulee gave them a chance and they did not disappoint as they settled to a 1-1 draw with Egypt before defeating Togo away 2-1 in Group G qualifiers.
