LEFT IN A HUFF
But then as the Q & A session commenced, the under fire CS addressed one question from a journalist before leaving in a huff.
“It is encouraging to hear that Caf isn’t here to police, but help us plan for the tournament. We have not refused to make public our plans, instead we staggered things because one can handle one thing at a time. We await the Caf report on our preparedness and that will help us plan,” said Wario.
Meanwhile, the continental body’s vice president Suketu Patel confirmed commitment towards Kenya’s hosting the tournament involving home based player, but added that Kenya has to be ready by October, or else the competition will be taken away.
Also present at the press conference was Football Kenya Federation president Nick Mwendwa
