Ryan Ogam scored the decisive goal in the match at Kasarani Stadium, securing Kenya’s spot in the CHAN quarter-finals.
“The Harambee Stars are proof of what unity can achieve,” Ruto said.
“They have brought the country together, and we are all witnessing the success it brings to the nation. We stand behind you, praying that this time we win CHAN because it’s within close reach.”
The latest pledge builds on an earlier commitment by the President, in which he promised each player KSh1 million for every CHAN match win and KSh500,000 for every draw.
