Was Dennis Oliech denied access to the VIP section during the Harambee Stars match?

A photo showing former Harambee Stars captain Dennis Oliech lining up to enter Kasarani Stadium on Sunday during the much anticipated match against Ethiopia has gone viral.

Oliech was with Musa Otieno, another football legend.

People are asking why Sports authorities would let a national hero join wananchi rather than be granted full access that is given to politicians. Did anyone notice all the politicians and their croonies hanging out at the VIP section?

Not forgetting Harambee stars were looking to qualify to the AFCON 2019 for the first time in 15 years. The last time we played in the tournament, Dennis Oliech was a key figure who won the hearts of Kenyans, and hence deserved to be treated like the legend he is.

Kenyans on Twitter are now protesting the lack of respect and honor towards Oliech. Read comments below.
