Squad14 Dec 2026

A row about effort at Kenya Police

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Yves Koutiama was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Kenya Police lose Jesse Nyakeya

42 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market14 Dec 2026

Nobody at Kenya Police has picked up the phone to Samuel Ayanrinde

36 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

The manager makes Job Ochieng a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Kenya Police. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Market14 Dec 2026

The shop window has Exauce Misuri in it

Kenya Police have let the market know Exauce Misuri can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Market14 Dec 2026

The Samuel Ayanrinde story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Samuel Ayanrinde signs something — a contract at Kenya Police or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Words at Kenya Police training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yves Koutiama is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Boardroom30 Nov 2026

Wages eat 185% of everything Kenya Police earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad30 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Kenya Police

Alvin Mangeni and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Kenya Police count the cost of losing David Ochieng

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad30 Nov 2026

7 new faces, and Kenya Police are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market30 Nov 2026

David Simiyu placed on the list

Kenya Police have made David Simiyu available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Reagan Otieno knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Kenya Police, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Stephen Okola

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

The manager makes Job Ochieng a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Kenya Police. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Both of them Samuel Ayanrinde's — 8.63

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.63, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Yves Koutiama falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

243% of the income goes out in wages at Kenya Police

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

The terraces5 Oct 2026

Kenya Police supporters have found a favourite in Edward Omondi Ondimo

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Edward Omondi Ondimo has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match3 Oct 2026

Kenya Police see off Posta Rangers

Three points for Kenya Police, 2‑0 the final word against Posta Rangers in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Kenya Police

Khadime N'Diaye and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Mondli Miya signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mondli Miya commits to Kenya Police for another 1 years.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

A satisfied Harun Mwendwa

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑0, Harun Mwendwa could afford to be generous.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Joash Onyango was immovable

15 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.
