“Keep Leading, Keep Scoring” – Hussein Mohammed Hails Olunga

Kenyan football has a fresh reason to celebrate after national team captain Michael Olunga reached 35 goals for Harambee Stars, drawing level with the country’s all-time leading scorer, the great William “Chege” Ouma.

In a congratulatory message, Hussein Mohammed praised Olunga for achieving the milestone and recognised the striker’s leadership, consistency and commitment to the national team. The message described the achievement as an important moment for Kenyan football and thanked the captain for continuing to inspire young people across the country.

Reaching 35 international goals places Olunga alongside Ouma, a respected figure in Kenya’s football history. The milestone connects two generations of Kenyan football and highlights the significance of sustained contribution at the highest level of the game. For supporters, it is also an opportunity to reflect on the players whose performances have helped shape the identity of Harambee Stars.

Olunga’s achievement has been built around his role as a dependable attacking option for the national side. As captain, he carries responsibility beyond finding the back of the net. His experience and presence are important to teammates, particularly younger players seeking to establish themselves in the national team.

Mohammed’s message also looked ahead, expressing hope that Olunga would continue scoring and eventually move beyond the shared record. The statement encouraged the striker to keep leading and making Kenyans proud in the Harambee Stars jersey.

The milestone is a reminder of the value of consistency and dedication in international football. It also gives Kenyan supporters something positive to rally around as the national team continues its journey in regional and international competitions. Whether Olunga sets a new outright record in his next appearances will be one of the storylines fans follow closely.
