He argued that if the intelligence department would be more careful, they would postpone the game before reaching the finals in Nakuru.
“I look at General Gichangi here, and I want to say, if General Gichangi was NIS's director, the game would not be banned in Nakuru if it was banned. Because it came from a small county, no one realized.
It went to the county, and no one discovered it. It went to the region and became number three; No one saw. They only realized about it in Nakuru in the finals because of a failed intelligence system. So if the decision should be made that it is a bad game and people will not see it, it would be banned somewhere, because there are officials every day, ” He said.
