In the upcoming election for the presidency of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF), the nation stands at a crucial crossroads.
Amidst challenges ranging from infrastructural deficits to allegations of corruption, the need for a visionary leader capable of navigating these hurdles and steering Kenyan football towards a brighter future has never been more apparent.
In this context, Sammy Owino ‘Kempes’ emerges as the beacon of hope, offering a unique blend of experience, expertise, and dedication to the sport.
Owino’s credentials speak volumes.
As a former midfielder for Gor Mahia and Harambee Stars, he has firsthand knowledge of the inner workings of Kenyan football.
However, it is his remarkable achievements beyond the borders of Kenya that truly set him apart.
Operating a 32-acre academy in Texas, USA, Owino has demonstrated his ability to build from the ground up, transforming a barren plot of land into a thriving hub for football development.
With seven fields and over 700 players under his tutelage, Owino has proven himself not only as a talented player but also as a visionary leader capable of realizing ambitious goals.
Central to Owino’s candidacy is his commitment to addressing the pressing issues plaguing Kenyan football.
Infrastructure, or the lack thereof, has long hindered the growth of the sport in Kenya. Owino’s track record in building youth infrastructure and coaching education in the USA positions him as the ideal candidate to tackle this challenge head-on.
By leveraging his expertise and forging partnerships with the government and other stakeholders, Owino pledges to revolutionize football infrastructure in Kenya, providing players with the facilities they need to thrive and excel on the global stage.
Furthermore, Owino is acutely aware of the systemic issues that have hampered progress within the FKF.
Corruption, in particular, has cast a dark shadow over the federation, undermining its credibility and sapping resources that could otherwise be invested in the development of the sport.
Owino’s commitment to transparency and accountability makes him the antidote to this malaise.
With a keen eye for financial stewardship and a determination to root out corruption at all levels, Owino promises to usher in a new era of integrity and trust within the FKF.
As I conclude, Sammy Owino ‘Kempes’ emerges as the ideal candidate to replace the embattled incumbent in the upcoming FKF elections.
