Harambee Stars former coach Jacob Ghost Mulee has explained the reasons he amicably parted ways with the national team.
Speaking on Radio Jambo, Ghost said since he returned from India, things have been tough.
"I have been going through a tough time. I was in India for two months with my brother who is ailing.
After returning from India, a lot of things changed personally.
"I had plans for the team but I thought I would be doing the country a disservice if I remained to be the head coach yet I have personal issues affecting me," he said.
He further explained that he could not step down during the World Cup qualifying games and wanted to leave the team in safe hands.
"We were just about to start the World Cup qualifying games and in that situation, it is very difficult for a coach to resign.After the draw against Rwanda and Uganda, I sat down with the FKF and we all saw it fit that I hand over to someone else," he said.
Four months ago, Ghost travelled to India to donate one of his kidneys to his elder brother but fortunately, the doctors said he could be treated without getting a transplant.
"My brother had a kidney problem and he needed a transplant. We organised on getting the visa and cleared by the Kenyan government. We came to India but after the doctor analysed my brother's kidney, he said there is no need to change it and promised to help him. I was so happy."
Ghost was diagnosed with a medical condition known as obstructive sleep apnea, which causes intense snoring and depletes oxygen from the body.
