Should Kenya reach the semifinals, they will get a cash reward of Ksh 70 million, and Ksh 60 million, for reaching the last eight.
Speaking while hosting the team for breakfast early Saturday, Ruto pledged a cash reward of Ksh 1 million per player for each victory and Ksh 500,000, for each draw result.
Other teams in Group A with Kenya are Angola, two-time champions Morocco, and Zambia.
