 Hello there and many thanks for tuning in to Sports of Friday. It's the first date of the month of March. Many thanks for being part of Y25 Sports Friday. It's all about sports and ADL. Yes, Hilary. I'll be co-hosting with Hilary today. Let's go and chat with your young man. Let's keep it in mind. It's no wonder why you keep on saying that. No, we're doing well. It doesn't matter if you're coming up or not. Otherwise we have lined up for you in the back home. Now CS Amina is the CS for Education Ambassador Dr. Amina Muhammad is the CS for Sports and Culture. She has been reassigned there. What's your take? Well, I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to respond to this. I know she knows much about being a CS. I just don't know how much she knows about sports and culture. But at this point, I think the Sports Ministry was too desperate that they would just want anyone different, just not the same person that was there. Okule pointen ya senali wa luku wa na oku wa na wenga, like anyone just not the one that is at the moment. So I think it should bring something different. So let's just hope she can live up to the task because there's so much to do. So much was that the former CS didn't accomplish, that he was expected to accomplish in regards to stadiums, in regards to keeping us updated. In fact, everything was just a mess. Even the Sports Fund was always a problem. So let's just hope Amina can do something different. Actually speaking of the stages, I remember during the campaigns, the deputy presidency, a lot in regards to the stages. I am like, this was the man who was supposed to push the president. You said of the five stages where I think my people want this, but that hasn't happened for the last three times. And I think the last part about it was, it's not just that they were not built and he was not pushing. It's like we were not feeling like he's doing anything. Because most of the time, even when the question was still so much surrounding the sports and issues regarding the stadiums, you would never hear him speak about anything. So it would be like back to want to like, is it really like following up? I don't know. Maybe there are things he has done but we haven't seen them and if they have been there, I don't know much to be spoken. But we also have problems with the sporting activities. We had problems with our athletes. We've been having problems with Harambe stars, the facilities fee. We had the problems with the coach. Do you think Aminez is going to change things now? Well for one thing I can say, we did see her do a lot in education and we really did see a push for a lot of changes in education. And most of those changes came through and a lot of them are working and are being implemented in such a manner that you'd feel like there was so much change done in it. So if she can do the same thing in sports, well I'm all for it. I'm not going to judge her before she starts her job. So I'm going to let her just do her thing and then after that I'm going to speak my piece. Initially she is known to perform what she does. She does it very well. And now she's moving from education and just the other day there were issues with her but now she's in sports. I have seen a lot of memes trending about change. Ever since last year you've been like hearing Amina, Amina, Amina. Like her name has been constant. That just shows you how much she's pushing for changes in the education sector. So it was something that we lacked when it came to the former CEO. So right now we are hoping she would do the same. I don't mind hearing her name on news every day as long as I... In fact me hearing her name on news every day just shows me how much she's pushing. All for good reasons. But sometimes good comes out of bad and bad comes out of good. So you never really know where you have to shake some things so that you can know what to do. She's coming in to meet the knock, the FKF, everything from sports to the athletes. I mean she will be having too much to handle at such a time because if it is true what she said like CSHS I did nothing as far as sports, culture and heritages of concern. I kind of believe she's coming to do a lot of work and do you think she will streamline this area? Remembering there has been allegations of misconducting of public funds. Kamile, Nyawade, Nangariyo, Yostori Sijili, Nangaji. You know speaking of doping. Even those ones are a bit serious. There was this petty things like those are things like okay we are Kenya you know and there's a level of improvement and development that we have so much overcome. Kuna she doesn't need to look what she has to say. She has not the same cases we are supposed to be hearing today. So if she can deal with those petty things and then now come to the big things I would like it even much better especially considering Harambistaz is going to laugh. Okay maybe in few words her first 100 days in office what do you think she should change? Wow I can't even know where to start but I think first what she really needs to do as to my opinion is just a shuwa Kenyans that she is here and she knows what she is doing and whatever it is that was a problem before she knows how to take care of it and she will take care of it because sometimes I think it's the faith that we lack in the government in regards to spots that was the problem so she just needs to restore that faith so that however much time she may need we will give it to her in regards to the faith that she will be asking for us. Alright as for me I'll be expecting her to address the financial issues we've been having our coaches have not been paid the players are not being paid. We have problems with our athletes wakiru diha wakui wakandu when they come with those goals that we celebrated them on TV let us celebrate them even at airport and even ensure that things flow and the stadiums that were promised if they are there we need to see players using those stadiums. It's really embarrassing. Nationals in many matches here in our country we don't have to go let them come Imagine, imagine Makalua Nene J. Fungulio Nyao stadium Nyao beniwa nijenga It's something else and I don't want to talk about it Okay, some things are just too embarrassing especially considering that this is Kenya and this is Nairobi so things that are in the city are not being done. Anyway, let's just wish her the best. Alright, I want us to talk about the KPL fixture about what will be happening with our boys back home we could be having that fixture on our screens now our director if you can hear us we have the fixtures Yeah, there's so much in the Kenyan Premier League The FC Leopards will be playing so Nishuga Yeah, yeah, just in the midweek Gormaya played the fixture with Taska and Gormaya won and I think the way the league is going is Gorma is trying to re-establish themselves and with the kind of adjustment they have put in and the kind of improvement they have made since they started the league I think they are well on track to go back to it I remember, is it last week I told you Gormaya will come because Gormaya is Gormaya I know, I am Kogalo but still you do have to see the changes that have been happening in sports of late like the way the Kenyan Premier League has improved and the way some teams are playing they should be put to like your hustle in Afakwa wangumuki doge should be that easy for them like the way Kaka Mega and Karubangeshaks are playing the way Bandaria are playing it should be the improvement should be that easy for Gorma Just to mention do you think Amina should have more stress on this league because this is the team that will come to form the Rambistans To be honest, I think there are just too many problems that the league seems like it's way better like Kwasasa league doesn't really need much addressing she should just see to Mambuaya nini other things like Mambuaya because Mambuaya Rambistans is just pathetic and stadium issues so me, I really don't see any reason for her to really focus on the league Alright, our viewers back home I hope you are seeing this KCB Sofapaka vs KCB this one will be promising Sofapaka is really big by the way, this is something I'm saying on a very serious level the football Sofapaka is playing is out of like, it's really good the day they played Gormaia I really saw Gormaia struggle and it was really interesting so I would really like Sofapaka to just improve on the little bit that they were lacking like the finishing end but as far as taking control of the game I don't know how to do it the FC Leopard and Sony Sugar that one is another western derby Mother United and Bandari Mother United and Bandari that one is really really promising in fact I think this is like the biggest game the Mother United and Bandari I think it's the biggest game of the weekend I don't think there's any game bigger than it in the weekend because like, who will carry the day I'm not sure, I'm not sure because Mother United really stubborn but Bandari are really on form and what is what Alright, I want us now to move to the English Premier League post analysis where things happened I'm sure Arsenal fans sitting next to me is very proud I don't know this tunnel with Canada plus Liverpool No, it was just Mantis and Arsenal the Premier League was really entertaining this weekend actually most people really expected Manchester United to lose seeing that they had like about 10 players from the first 11 missing I mean you know a lot can be said about Manchester and a lot can be said about Oleguna but I really really think that the coach is really doing a good job as you can see this was the Arsenal match and that was a really stellar performance from Arsenal I really really this is like the kind of football that you expect to see Arsenal play for the first time Ozil performed for the first time in a very long time because he's been really seeing some bench time Ozil performed to the expectations and Meketarian carried the day Meketarian was like the man of the match he assisted three goals in squad one that was not a joke actually he made history I think in consecutive CG Premier matches previously he had scored one goal and assisted one and then he came to the next game and assisted three and scored one it was just the combination between him and Ozil you can see he assisted goals in his goal and then Ozil came back and assisted his goal so I think Arsenal really can emulate exactly what we did on this to the Tottenham game this weekend I think they can really do much good but you also have to consider that in this match Bournemouth lacked about eight players from the first eleven so Arsenal really found a really really weak Bournemouth so let's just not to put a lot of pressure on them because it was different but me at the moment the only problem I'm really having with Arsenal is Aubameyang but in 90% of the game or should I say let me just say 80% of the game I always feel like he's lost and actually he's in the rest for the Golden Boot he's in the rest for the Golden Boot 16 goals are where he is right now at 19 I think but now Arsenal there's something about you guys because you be playing Tottenham Chelsea didn't manage managed to beat Tottenham but now this coming weekend you'll be with them I don't know what will happen it will be a very interesting fixture considering Arsenal are really not at their best but also Tottenham are really not at their best even though Harry Kane is back Harry Kane is still struggling to find him so I'm not quite sure because Tottenham right now have lost two games consecutive they lost like the Burnley game and now they have lost there but let's talk about Manchester United against Crystal Palace Manchester United against Crystal Palace they were so expected Crystal Palace to win considering the fact that they had drone with Manchester while they drone a Manchester they drew with Manchester at Old Trafford and then all of a sudden Manchester is lacking players and Crystal Palace are the form of the lifetime and they're losing this match and I'm like what's wrong with Crystal Palace but Crystal Palace was playing the right pressure I think Manchester United have just mastered that thing you will have few chances just use them at your best to make the best most make the most out of the little that you get and that is pretty much what Manchester United is doing every time they get a chance they make the most of it and that is how they just assassinated this game what you do see about Lukaku because he was so lost in the bush well Lukaku proved his fans wrong Lukaku for a very long time performed like the striker that we expect him to be he performed like the striker that was leading the team and I think to some extent Lukaku really impressed me he did beyond my expectation we expect more this weekend how about Liverpool and Wattford now Liverpool and Wattford that was that was I think it was a weak team that was ridiculous I'm not quite sure even what happened there because before Wattford were from like a what a 5 nil win from their previous game and then they come to this match and they lose 5 like it's a joke that was really disappointing you also have to give credit to Liverpool they really played their best Mane was doing things in fact Mane Goal was really impressive I really never expected that I didn't see that coming but I have to say Liverpool did play their best not to take credit away from them it was a jaggen club master class we will be taking a very short break and when we come back we will look at two other teams that is Chelsea Man City we want to see what these people did and what went wrong for them and what went good for them keep it Y254 Sports of Freddie takes a short break don't go too far
