Ingwe@60: President Ruto endorses Leopards plans to go corporate, donates Sh10m

President William Ruto Wednesday threw his weight behind AFC Leopards' plans to go corporate, advising the club’s officials to transform the stable into a self-sustaining and profitable organization.

The president made the remarks at state house when he received the club’s delegation to brief him about the ongoing Ingwe@60 anniversary celebrations.

 The President, who also instructed government officials to ensure the club possesses the ‘long overdue ‘parcel of land at Kasarani in Nairobi, rewarded the club with Sh 10 million to meet budgetary needs.

Present among others was the Sports CS Ababu Namwamba who sided with the president and promised to support the club’s turnaround.

Others were club chairman Dan Shikanda, club patron Alex Muteshi and Ingwe@60 chairman Elder Vincent Shimoli, among others.

The highlight of AFC Leopards 60th Anniversary will be the unveiling of the club's Corporate agenda, dubbed 'AFC Incorp24' during the two-week long anniversary period ending on March 24, 2024.

The club’s former CEO, Richard Ekhalie is spearheading the initiative in conjunction with the outfit’s NEC and key stakeholders.

The corporate Ingwe will eradicate archaic patronage based structure for a PLC attractive to serious investors.

Members of the club will also get a chance to invest and own the club they love.
