The tournament takes place from 2 to 30 August and will be jointly hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
McCarthy recently confirmed his official squad for the tournament after trimming down the provisional team.
Some of his selection choices have been questioned in Kenya, which has now resulted in McCarthy issuing an emphatic message to his critics.
"You can't please everyone, and I'm not here to please people, I'm here to bring success to this country," he said Thursday during a press briefing in Nairobi, according to AfricaFootUnited.
"The players we selected are the ones we've seen, the ones we've worked with in camp and the ones we think can do the job.
"It's not about who's had a few good games, it's about what we've seen day in and day out in training."
Kenya's opening match will be on 3 August against DR Congo.
