Kariobangi Sharks are doing everything they can to kill the spirit of the Kotoko players.
Since the Kotoko team arrived in Kenya, the players have not been given a proper place to train. The training ground they gave to Kotoko is in bad shape to the extent that the management of Kotoko decided to look for a place where the players can go and train.
The Post has gathered that the management found a place but that was where their opponents, Kariobangi Sharks train. The management of Kotoko were told that before they can rent the place to train, the Kenyan Football Association must give them permission to give the pitch to Kotoko.
Kotoko found another place but it had already been rent for a program.
Apart from finding it difficult to get a proper place to train, the team was given a bus which is too small for the whole team.
After the management complained about the bus, the management of Kariobangi Sharks provided another bus for Kotoko. But the first bus was way better than the second bus.
We made a request to Kariobangi Sharks for a change of bus, but our plea has been turned down with the explanation that it will inflate their budget. pic.twitter.com/x8DQdBlNex

The Sharks have also not delivered on the promises they have made to Kotoko since they arrived in Nairobi this week including changing the training pitch for Kotoko.
While the Sharks are doing everything humanly possible to weaken the Kotoko team, the Porcupine Warriors are in high spirits ahead of the game as every Kotoko team always get this kind of treatment whenever they play in an African competition.
According to the rules of the competition, Kotoko is supposed to train at the match venue, the Kasarani Stadium and Kotoko has also been notified that they will have access to the park at 3:00 pm Kenyan time.
Luckily for the Porcupine Warriors, reports from Kenya indicates the Kenyan media have criticized Kariobangi Sharks on how they are treating the Kotoko team.
