A number of KEFOFA members were set to travel to Lilongwe to support the Harambee Stars as they take on Burundi and Ivory Coast, but the state-sponsored bus trip hit an unexpected hurdle on Tuesday.
The Kenya Football Fans Federation (KEFOFA) has issued a press statement addressing the unfortunate cancellation of the planned trip to Lilongwe.
The trip was organized for fans to support the Harambee Stars in their upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifier matches against Burundi on June 7 and Ivory Coast on June 11.
Trade CS Moses Kuria was supposed to facilitate the trip to Malawi, which was to be done through road, but opted against paying for it at the last minute, instead, offering National Youth Service (NYS) buses, which also failed to get released on time.
Pulse Sports earlier reported that inconvenienced fans were left angered by the last minute rushes, with chairman Francis Liboyi also lashing out at Kuria.
