Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala has reinstated Sh.20 million Brand Kenya sponsorship deal to the Kenya 7s team that is getting ready to represent Kenya World Cup Series in San Francisco, USA on July 20-22.
“The boys will keep on selling Kenya to the world,” Shujaa Pride tweeted.
The deal remained suspended even as Brand Kenya paid the players their Sh.100,000 each on Thursday.
