Gor Mahia midfielder Austin Odhiambo laments elder brother's struggles at Kenya Police
Gor Mahia midfielder Austin Odhiambo has expresses disappointment over his brother Tyson Otieno's struggles after joining Kenya Police FC last year.
In his critique, Okwemba also pointed out the encouraging yet short-lived performances of teams like City Stars and Posta Rangers, who show promise at the league's outset but fail to maintain momentum.
"The prospect of a single team consistently winning the league raises concerns about the competitiveness of our football.
“A league lacking rich competition among its teams becomes tedious and fails to meet the standards required to be considered among the best on the continent,” he added.
Reflecting on the history, AFC Leopards were once formidable rivals to Gor Mahia, competing neck and neck from the 1960s through the 1990s.
