Kenya’s Harambee Starlets qualifies for AWCON 2018, after Equatorial Guinea’s ban
Kenya’s women soccer team, Harambee Starlets, has qualified for the African Women Cup Of Nations, AWCON, after Equatorial Guinea’s disqualification today. The Federation of Kenyan Football, FKF, successfully appealed against Equatorial Guinea’s use of an ineligible player in a qualifier match where Kenya lost 3-2 on aggregate. Equatorial Guinea fielded a Cameroonian, Anette Jacky Messomo, in the final round of the AWCON 2018 qualifiers. Apart from the disqualification, Equatorial Guinea have also been fined 10,000 US dollars. FKF had filed a complaint over the eligibility of 6 Equatorial Guinea players who played a part in their qualifier against the Harambee Starlets.
A Confederation of African Football, CAF, disciplinary Board sitting at the CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt, found Equatorial Guinea culpable. “Considering CAF statutes; CAF Regulations, in particular the Regulations of the Women AFCON 2018; and the CAF Disciplinary Code, the Disciplinary Board Decides that Kenya’s protest be upheld; a sanction of 10,000 USD is imposed on Equatorial Guinea FA (Football association); and Equatorial Guinea’s Team is Disqualified from the TOTAL African Women’s Cup of Nations, 2018,” read a communique from CAF to the FKF CEO, Robert Muthomi. Muthomi had, in June 9 2018, filed a protest against Equatorial Guinea before Kenya’s game against Equatorial Guinea.
And Equatorial Guines’ problems have been compounded, further. The team has been banned by the Federation of International Football Associations, FIFA, from the Women’s World Cup to be held in 2019 at France. They will pay a fine if 102, 000 US dollars to FIFA for fielding the ineligible player. They have equally been banned from 2020 Olympics.
The Harambee Starlets will, now, play at the AWCON finals slated for next month, at the Cape Coast in Ghana. This will be the Starlet’s second appearance at the Continental competition that shall be held from November 19 to December 1, 2018. Kenya made her maiden appearance at the finals in 2016.

Kenya’s National soccer team, Harambee Stars, take on Ethiopia in an AFCON group F qualifier, this afternoon, at 4.00pm. In their first leg, the two teams played out to a barren draw, in Ethiopia. Kenya sits at the summit of group F and won’t afford to flop at home, today.

Senator Moses Wetangula: “I salute our Harambee stars and wish them sweet victory in the Afcon match against The Walya Antelopes of Ethiopia.”
H.E William Ruto, DP: “Visited Harambee Stars training camp at Kasarani Stadium, Nairobi County in a show of solidarity and delivered a goodwill message from Government and Kenyans ahead of the crunch Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Ethiopia. The boys are in high spirits and raring to go.”

This year’s theme pays tribute to the first iconic recipient of the AWEA Committee’s Living Legends Award Winnie Madikizela Mandela.
Previously, Mohamed served as the minister for foreign affairs and international trade, deputy executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme and permanent secretary in the ministry of justice, national cohesion and constitutional affairs where she played a key role in creating the 2010 Constitution in Kenya.
Most recently, she has worked tirelessly in the arenas of women’s empowerment and girls’ education in Kenya and around the world, especially as co-chair of the Commonwealth High Level Platform for Girls’ Education which works to put 130 million out of school girls back in the classroom.
Speaking to the Inter Press Service (IPS) Amina Mohamed said, “the AWEA is a great honour which I accept with humility and gratitude; and which I share with my family, colleagues and friends who have encouraged me all along. The award is recognition that I have made a demonstrable contribution towards the progress of my country and in enriching the lives of our people. It is a very important award that will no doubt inspire other women in the country, and especially young girls, to develop confidence in themselves and in their ability to make positive and tangible impact in their communities and nations”.

Building a country is a collective responsibility and exercise in which each one of us has a role to play and a contribution to make. In making our contribution, in whatever capacity, we must embrace the virtues of hard work, careful reflection, patriotism, honesty, accountability, justice and fairness and the pursuit of public good. I believe that my adherence to these virtues have inspired this award. I am grateful to my family, friends and colleagues for their continued support.”

Kenya’s Harambee Stars jets out ahead of Ethiopia AFCON Qualifier
The first batch of five Kenya National football team players have on Saturday, October 6, 2018, jetted out to Ethiopia alongside coach Sébastien Migné, ahead of the upcoming two-legged Africa Cup of Nations Qualifier against Ethiopia.
The second batch will travel on Monday, with foreign-based players also set to link up with the team in Ethiopia on the same day.
Coach Migné, in the meantime, has expressed optimism that Stars will give a good account of themselves while noting that captain Victor Wanyama’s inclusion is a big boost to the team’s pursuit for a second appearance at the continental showpiece.
“Of course it won’t be easy against Ethiopia since they are also equally strong, but my players are up to the task and I am confident we will get a positive result,” said coach Migné.
“We won against Ghana without our captain, it will be morale boosting for us to also win with him. He is one of our most experienced players and will be crucial for us against Ethiopia,” he added.
The match has been slated for Wednesday, October 10, 2018, at the Bahir Dar Stadium, with the return leg set to be played on Sunday, October 14, 2018, at the MISC Kasarani.
Saturday traveling team
Farouk Shikalo (Bandari, Kenya), Philemon Otieno (Gor Mahia, Kenya), Francis Kahata (Gor Mahia, Kenya), Abdallah Hassan (Bandari, Kenya), Allan Wanga (Kakamega Homeboyz)
Monday traveling team
Piston Mutamba (Sofapaka), Patrick Matasi (Tusker, Kenya), Dennis Odhiambo (Sofapaka, Kenya), Benard Ochieng (Vihiga United, Kenya)
Foreign Based Players
Musa Mohammed (Nkana FC, Zambia), Brian Mandela (Maritzburg FC, South Africa), Abud Omar (Cercle Brugge, Belgium), David Ochieng (IF Brommapojkarna, Sweden), Erick Ouma (Vasalund, Sweden), Ismael Gonzales (Las Palmas, Spain), Victor Wanyama (Tottenham Hotspurs, England), Anthony Akumu (Zesco United, Zambia), Johanna Omollo (Cercle Brugge, Belgium), Paul Were (FC Kaisar, Kazakhstan), Michael Olunga (Kashiwa Reysol), Erick Johanna (IF Brommapojkarna), Ovella Ochieng (Vasalund)
The Harambee stars team defeated a much fancied Ghana at Kasarani by a 1-0 scoreline, last month. It was a spirited fight and a show of discipline from the Kenyan squad, who played the last half an hour of the match a man down, after Joash Onyango was given marching orders.
The other clash in the same group pitting Ghana versus Sierra Leone is in limpo after FIFA bans the Sierra Leone football Association. The match is scheduled for Thursday, 11 October, 2018… Download the FIFA communique, here..FIFA bans Sierra Leone football association
Ghana highlights group F with 3 points but all the teams are tied on points; separated by goal difference. Kenya is second, followed by Sierra Leone with Ethiopia at rock bottom.
Education Ministry recalls all officers on annual leave as CS Amina assures of full implementation of new curriculum
Education Cabinet Secretary, Ambassador Amina Mohammed, has refuted claims that the full implementation of the new Competence Based Curriculum, CBC, has hit a snag. Amina says that all interventions have been put in place to ensure full roll out the new curriculum in January 2019. CS Amina was speaking at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum studies after leading a consultative meeting on curriculum implementation, today. Amb amina chaired the Multi-Sectoral National steering committee on curriculum Reform as part of an ongoing intensive review process to assess the implementation of the new curriculum. Last week, the Kenya Publishers’ Association lamented on the government’s sluggishness in providing guidance and resources for development of the new curriculum. The Publishers said they have not prepared instructional materials for grade four, ahead of the new 2-6-3-3-3 education system full roll out.

CS Amina added that “mobile phones will not be allowed in schools. In fact, only centre managers will be authorized to have these devices and the phones will be monitored. As we commence this year’s examinations period, we count on all our colleagues to assist in delivering credible processes and outcomes. Our country deserves this, the children deserve this, their teachers deserve this and the future demands this”.
Yesterday, the Parliamentary Committee on Education faulted the Ministry, of Education, for failing to provide updates on its preparedness for the forthcoming National examinations. Led by Hon. Julius Melly, the Tinderet Member of Parliament who is also the chair to the committee, the MPs said they had summoned CS Amina to shed more light on the fate of the over 4,000 students affected by insecurity in various parts of the country.

But, speaking to the media today at the KICD, in Nairobi, the Education CS reiterated the Government’s commitment in ensuring that the new curriculum is rolled out next year, as scheduled. “Going forward, we plan to supply necessary Curriculum materials to all schools to enhance the learning and teaching environment”, Amina told journalists. The CS who has been out of the Country for official duty assured teachers that they will get adequate training in order to handle the new Competency Based Curriculum. “We also plan to step up the level of preparedness among teachers to handle the CBC. We plan to hold the third National conference in Curriculum reforms in December of this year”, Amina added.
Ambassador Amina exuded confidence that full roll out of the CBC for grade one to three will go on as planned, next year.
Elsewhere, the Education PS, Dr. Belio Kipsang, has suspended annual leaves for all education officers till examinations are over. In a Circular to all Regional Coordinators of Education, RCEs, the PS directed that all educational officers on leave to resume duty immediately. The officers are required to help in administering the National examinations.
In a rejoinder, the interior cabinet secretary, Dr. fred Matiang’i, has assured of adequate security during the examination period. “It is inflexible commitment; almost militaristic to support clean exams. We will provide all the security we need”, said the fiery and no nonsense Cabinet Secretary, who initially led the Education docket where he introduced far reaching reforms. Speaking at Kereri Girls Secondary School in Kisii County, yesterday ,while commissioning a new dormitory, Dr. Matiang’i promised thorough interventions from his Ministry to ensure that the examinations will proceed smoothly.
” This year, the change that you are going to see from my end, of Security, in terms of managing the exams will be much more swift than we were last year in getting the crooks”, Matiang’i said. Already, the Kenya National Examinations Council, KNEC, chairman Prof. George Magoha has highlighted areas and individuals under the spotlight for examination related malpractices.
The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education and Secondary Education exams kick off at the end of this month.
