Former Harambee Stars holding midfielder Tom Juma wants the national team to build on the confidence drawn from the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier double against West African giants Ghana for a successful outing in Egypt. Juma said Stars stand a big chance of reaching the second round as long as are able to replicate their performance against Ghana when they come up against Senegal and Algeria in the group stages. Stars are drawn in a relatively tough Pool C alongside neighbours Tanzania and the two pre-tournament favourites but Juma is bullish that Kenya will advance to the next round if they can build upon their performance against Ghana. “Our chances in Egypt are high if only we can build on our performance against Ghana. “We should win the Tanzania match by all costs and at least share spoils with the two—a result which will guarantee us a place in the second round.
