Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya has announced a personal reward for Harambee Stars’ goalkeeper Bryne Omondi in recognition of his exceptional performance and composure on the pitch.
Salasya, who has often been vocal in supporting sports and youth talent, said he was particularly impressed by Omondi’s professionalism and command in goal. He described the goalkeeper as someone who “is very composed and knows his work,” noting that such qualities deserve appreciation.
As a gesture of encouragement, the MP pledged to cover Omondi’s house rent for three months. According to Salasya, this reward is his personal way of motivating the goalkeeper, while pointing out that other players in the team will receive their gifts from President William Ruto.
The announcement has been met with mixed reactions online, with many applauding the MP’s move as a show of support for sportsmen and women who work hard to represent the country. Others have also called for more consistent investment in Kenyan sports to ensure players are well-supported both during and after major tournaments.
Salasya’s pledge comes amid growing national pride following the Harambee Stars’ recent performances, a reminder of how sports can unite and inspire the country. For Bryne Omondi, this reward is not just a financial gesture, but also public recognition of his dedication and skill.
