Change of guard as Nzoia Sugar elects new club chairman

Long-serving Nzoia Sugar FC Chairman Evans Kadenge has left his role at the club and has been replaced by Yapets Mokua.

Mokua was elected unopposed during the election of a fresh club management committee held at the company office in Bungoma.

The seasoned football administrator is tasked with leading the club into a new era, taking over from Evan Kadenge, who retires at the end of the month.

Kadenge thanked the millers for according him the opportunity to serve, having risen through the ranks to become the club chairman.

 “I came into this team as a player, became team captain, trainer, assistant coach, team manager and Chairman after I retired from the pitch, I have served for forty years and it’s time to retire,” Kadenge told Citizen Digital.

The soft spoken administrator challenged the newly elected team to steer the team to greater heights.

“I want to challenge the newly elected team under my good friend Mr. Mokua to lead the team well, let them pick it up from where I have left and make the team great.”

Mokua's priority, alongside his newly-constituted executive committee, is to address the pressing issue of financial instability that has seen the team lose several players in the aftermath of the 2022/23 FKF Premier League season, where the sugar millers managed a respectable fourth-place finish.
