Ruto Claims Financial Reward for Harambee Stars Players Following Their Win
President William Ruto has promised to reward Harambee Stars players with substantial cash incentives if they secure victories in crucial matches, a move aimed at boosting morale and performance.
In a statement made ahead of Kenya's clash against Morocco, Ruto pledged KSh 2.5 million to each player and technical staff for beating Zambia, alongside additional rewards such as KSh 1 million and affordable housing for winning the quarter-finals.
The policy has proven to be a direct motivation for the team, with Ruto personally visiting the squad and expressing confidence in their abilities. This personal touch has been a significant morale booster, encouraging the players to aim for higher achievements.
The tangible nature of the incentives — substantial cash sums and housing — has been seen as a strong morale booster behind the team's success in the African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 stages. The fulfillment of Ruto’s promises further reinforces trust and motivation within the team.
For every win, a Harambee Stars player receives Sh1 million, while for every draw, they receive half a million. Each player has already received Sh1.5 million after the team's last two matches against DR Congo and Angola.
The national squad, Harambee Stars, is chasing crucial qualification points, and the cash incentives are expected to provide an extra push towards achieving their goals.
This approach exemplifies how financial and material support from leadership can harness athletes' motivation towards improved performance in critical matches. As the team prepares to face Morocco, the promise of cash rewards serves as a powerful motivator, encouraging the players to give their best in support of the nation.
