Cabinet Secretary for Sports Kipchumba Murkomen speaks during the inauguration of CHAN (African Nations Championship) 2024 and AFCON (Africa Cup of Nations) 2027 Local Organising Committee at Talanta Plaza in Nairobi on December 10, 12024.
Musonye, while admitting that Kenya is behind schedule, promised a robust effort to deliver both Chan 2024 and Afcon 2027. “I have gone through the stadiums, and we are behind schedule. Now that we have made the commitment, we shall do all we can to deliver Chan and Afcon,” he said.
Murkomen said hosting Chan is a stepping stone for larger international events like Afcon 2027.
Sports Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has assured Kenyans that the country will retain hosting rights for the delayed 2024 African Nations Championship (Chan), set for February 2025.
With just three weeks left until the December 31 deadline set by the Confederation of African Football (Caf), Murkomen remains confident that Kenya will finalise infrastructure upgrades in time.
