McDonald Mariga: Former Harambee Stars midfielder cleared to vie for Kibra seat

Former Kenyan international McDonald Mariga has remained cagey on whether he has retired from active football after joining the race to capture the Kibra parliamentary seat.

Mariga has already been cleared by the Jubilee Party to contest for the political seat but failed to expressly state whether it was the end of his footballing career.

He is among 19 other candidates seeking the ruling party’s ticket ahead of the Kibra by-election slated for November 7.

“I will tell you when the time comes whether I have retired or not,” Mariga told reporters on Monday.
