Kevin Masagara, a leading Kenyan sports influencer, has disclosed why he missed a highly anticipated trip to watch Manchester United in England, despite a public promise from President William Ruto.
During a candid podcast interview with radio presenter Tony Mwirigi, Masagara explained that visa delays and ticketing complications disrupted the planned journey, which was initially scheduled for last season.
Public Promise from President Ruto
President Ruto had personally named Masagara and pledged to take him to a Manchester United match, a commitment that raised significant expectations given Masagara's prominence in the sports community.
Visa and Ticketing Challenges
Although preparations were underway, the trip fell through due to delays in visa issuance and problems with ticket arrangements. By the time these issues surfaced, President Ruto was engaged in official duties, including a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, limiting his ability to intervene.
Masagara noted, "Everything was written but we did not get the visa."
Looking Ahead
Despite the setback, Masagara remains optimistic that the trip will eventually happen this season. He showed no bitterness over the missed opportunity, emphasizing that the dream to watch Manchester United live is still alive.
