I have been following your exchange with Nicholas Musonye regarding the transfer of CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup 2012 from Kenya to Uganda. I can understand your frustration, I was also disappointed, as a member of the 5th Estate (we operate from the servant quarters of the fourth estate) -this was a chance to promote my blog by streaming East and Central Africa football to the world, now I will wait for the fourth estate to serve me their news.
Mr. Nyamweya, I will give you three reasons why I believe you should walk over to Nick's office- your offices are in the same compound and buy him tea. I know he loves tea, where he comes from, you must love tea before you can love other beverages. Semantics aside...
One; we are not guaranteed of winning the tournament on home soil. You unveiled the natinal team coach last week, with two months to the games, I doubt if he can craft a title winning side by November. I would prefer we spend the next one year, preparing a team with a simple drill- lift CECAFA CUP on home soil. Let CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup go to Nambole for now.
Next year is a chance of a life time to showcase what Kenya has in terms of football talent and everything around our lovely people. Pwani ni Kenya na Kisumu is dala wa- so please look for ways of staging a few matches in the coastal and lakeside cities. I believe one year is enough for us to showcase a side of Kenya that the CECAFA community has never seen. Let it Go to the hills of the Impala its only a one year wait.
Image is everything. Sam, I know you and Nick are both tough headed men, that is not a problem. That is a character than can do Kenyan football good. You are both Kenyans, so let us not wash our dirty football linen in the African public. The court of public opinion is a harsh court, it will put off sponsors and partners and hurt the beautiful game. For the sake of the good image of Kenyan football, we have come from the dark tunnel, let there be peace. Let the People of Kampala have CECAFA for this year, we can wait.
Last but not least, we can make a deal with Uganda to give us another of their slot soon, even if it is the Kagame Cup. Win-Win is made up of such.
Kwa hayo machache, Sam, let Kampala have it and by that it does not mean Nick has won. We gonna win big next year. We can plan to win the cup next year on home soil, what a better way to end this saga.
Thanking you in advance,
Yours Truly
5th Estate Tenant.
