Kimanzi fumes as Harambee Stars players threaten to boycott Egypt trip

The national team have complained bitterly at the travel plans put in place by the government and have threatened to boycott the trip

The Harambee Stars players have threatened to skip their trip to Egypt to play in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on November 13.

The Kenyan national team received air tickets for the trip to Cairo on Friday from the government but Goal now understands they will be forced to travel for 16 hours instead, of five, ahead of the opening group match against the Pharaohs.

This is because the Ministry of Sports, which has taken charge of the team travel, has opted for a longer route which takes the team through Dubai before they land in Cairo.
