Mugo gets a boost after Starehe’s Okoth joins his team
Simon Mugo has received a major boost in his quest to be the
next chairman of Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Nairobi West Branch
chairman, when he received the backing of Pellico coach Fred Okoth who
is seeking to become the next Secretary General of the branch.
Okoth who before Nairobi branch was divided into two, was the branch
secretary in-charge of Youth, is believed to be joining Mugo's camp
with a surety of at least 10 teams votes from Starehe constituency.
He will battle it out against former international midfielder Dennis
'Wise' Akoth and Charles Kaindi for the seat, come the November 23
polls.
