Sasha Mutai, the former Kenya Rugby Union vice-chairman, is promising to bring back credibility as well as win confidence of the corporate world should he get elected as union chairman in the March 20 polls.
“It will take a lot of hard work; but what I’m getting from the corporate world is that they need a change and having worked with them before it’ll be my first priority since the current regime is on wrangles with a debt of Ksh 100 million,” explained Mutai.
Mutai lost with a margin of two votes to Richard Omwela two years ago and he believes that the current regime has failed the rugby fraternity owing to its inept leadership.
“I was the vice chairman between 2012-2014 and before that I was the director for Sevens in Kenya between 2006-2010 and we worked hard unlike this union which hasn’t put that kind of effort and that’s why the corporate world, players and fans aren’t happy,” he said.
“If everything was going on well I wouldn’t be running for this office; that’s why have decided to vie having done so two years ago losing by two votes and the same things that happened before then are even worse now.”
If elected, the former Shujaa team manager is confident of luring back sponsors as well as ending the contract wrangles pitting the senior players and the Union’s leadership
