Mulee insists Namwamba’s previous incumbents did not do a good job in charge of the Sports Ministry, adding that he has done a tremendous job in his one year in charge.

Former Harambee Stars head coach Jacob Ghost Mulee has heaped praise on Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba, saying he has done a lot for the sporting and arts sector since taking charge.

Mulee insists Namwamba’s predecessors did not do a good job of growing the sectors, believing that the Talanta Hela initiative will give Kenya a chance to identify new talents that could go a long way in helping the country grow as a sporting and arts country.

“Since the CS took charge of the job - he has been charge for just over a year - but the work he has done is much better than that done by his previous incumbents,” Mulee said.

“I think the previous incumbents were joking but now, we have a CS that is doing a very good job in efforts to try and identify talents.

“Talent is money and if you look, anyone who earns off expressing his talent earns well so I am happy the CS came up with the name Talanta Hela because talent pays.”

Mulee believes the recently concluded Talanta Hela U19 tournament that saw talents plucked from all counties across the country will help streamline youth football across the country which will help both Harambee Stars and Junior Stars down the line.

“I am very happy because we will have a chance to pluck players from all counties and I think it will be beneficial to the junior national team sides as well as clubs so now, we have been given a selection from all counties,” Mulee opined.

The outspoken head coach has however stressed the need to better football educational programmes across the country in order to help equip players with proper footballing knowledge.

“But football education is also important so we have to instill confidence in them because there are some teams that were well beaten, with one losing by 24 goals and another by 11. 

"It should not be like that so if we can add coaching to these counties, the competition will be better across all counties.”
