Fly 748 signs sponsorship deal with Kenya Police FC

Deputy Inspector General of Police Edward Mbugua received a Ksh.6 million cheque on behalf of the team from the airline's Managing Director Moses Mwangi on Tuesday at Jogoo House, Nairobi.

Mr. Mwangi said the sponsorship will also extend to subsidizing air tickets for the football club.

He noted that the move is meant to boost a good working relationship between police and the public through sports.

“As part of our CSR, we are much interested in sports sponsorship because it brings people together and what a better team to partner with than the people who take care of us, who are in-charge of security,” said Mr. Mwangi.

He added, “Security and Safety is cardinal in the aviation sector. Everywhere we fly to, the first people we meet are the police. We are very excited to partner with and sponsor Kenya Police FC.”

Deputy Inspector General, Edward Mbugua said the sponsorship has offered Kenya Police a huge relief from a big budget it is required to cater to all its sporting activities including hockey, Karate and Tae Kwondo.

“Sometimes we can only afford to give these teams lunch. Your Assistance came in handy when it was most needed,” said Mr. Mbugua. 

“The team is doing good competing with big teams having been its first time in the premier league. We expect to see good results by the end of the year. We don’t expect to go back to the super league, we want to remain in the premier league,” added Mr. Mbugua.

748 Air Services Chairman, Ahmed Jibril an ardent supporter of local football clubs wished the Kenya police club the best in their forthcoming matches and missions of promoting community policing.
