Nairobi City Stars' head coach Nicholas Muyoti criticised his team's performance and emphasised the need for improvement after a 4-1 loss to Gor Mahia.
“We hire this ground and we should not be paying to lose our valuables. We might rethink using the dressing room going forward. We noticed the windows do not have grills which might have made it easy for the culprits to access the dressing room.”
It is not the first time a case burglary has been reported at the Kasarani Stadium dressing room. Last year, City Stars players and staff also lost money and phones while coincidentally facing Gor Mahia at the same venue.
