Mohamed Bajaber's Kenya Police FC remain confident and unfazed by title race pressure, with coach Ndayiragije emphasising their focus and discipline.

Kenya Police FC head coach Etienne Ndayiragije has insisted that Mohamed Bajaber and Co are not under any pressure to win the league title.

Police are currently the FKF Premier League table leaders with 48 points, with Tusker FC and Gor Mahia coming in second and third with 47 and 43 points respectively.

Despite being on top of the table and other clubs looking to dethrone them, Ndayiragije has insisted that such pressure is what makes diamonds and keeps the players in check, knowing that other clubs are eyeing the top spot.

He explained that the players have maintained a high level of discipline in their quest to make a mark in the premier league, knowing that all eyes are on them to deliver as they chase the top prize.

“The pressure is always there and that is the good thing about league games, if there is no tight race between the contenders, then there is no good thing about the league,” Ndayiragije said in a post-match interview after Kenya Police thrashed Posta Rangers.

“We are used to that and it certainly always helps us stay focused and know that our rivals are right behind us.”

Speaking about their dominant 1-0 win over Posta Rangers that was inspired by Mohammed Bajaber, Ndayiragije noted that the boys were prepared to face their tough opponent and their mindset was focused on winning.

He explained that Posta Rangers gave them a hard time and it was luck that they managed to come out on top, revealing that they had to put in more effort to get the job done.

“We knew that we were coming to meet a tough opponent and had to take the win regardless, we were well-prepared for this,” he added.

On the sidelines, Mohamed Bajaber has also been vital in aiding Kenya Police triumph in challenging circumstances. His Harambee Stars debut was also a confidence booster not only for him but also for the whole squad.

During Harambee Stars’ 2026 World Cup qualifier match against Gambia, Mohamed Bajaber stole the show with his impressive display, scoring in the 3-3 draw spirited comeback against The Gambia.
