The government had announced on Thursday this week that entry to Kasarani Stadium for the game will be free.
In a statement, sports Cabinet Secretary, Rashid Eches said the move was to ensure that Kenya qualifies for the AFCON 2019 championship to be held in Cameroon.
“I wish to announce that entrance to the stadium at Kasarani will be free of charge to allow Kenyans cheer their team to victory. Consequently, it’s important that as patriotic Kenyans it is our duty to support the team unreservedly,” reads the statement in part.
