Okello has explained why Kenya Police have recently soared up the league following a tumultuous start to the season.
Kenya Police FC striker Tito Okello has explained why the side, which has created a reputation for being spendthrifts, experienced a slow start to the season before starting to pick up midway through it.
Okello, a former Gor Mahia striker, has now scored six goals for the season and is currently the side’s top marksman, three now behind leading scorer Benson Omala, with his goals crucial to helping the Law Enforcers continue their surge up the table.
Police have had a troubled camp this season, having already parted ways with two coaches due to contrasting problems and then finding themselves well off their target of challenging for their maiden league title after impressingly finishing last season just six points off the top.
Speaking to Pulse Sports in a recent chat, Okello revealed the reason he thinks it took a while for the team to start registering consistent wins.
