The tournament organized by Maringo/Hamza ward UDA MCA candidate Patrick Macharia was also attended by the Makadara UDA MP candidate Anthony Waithaka among other leaders.

On his part, Waithaka said that Makadara Constituency has over 80 football teams playing in local leagues and committed to support them as well as work with other local leaders to preserve and improve playing fields within Makadara.

“During the last five years, these Makadara football teams have really suffered.  Struggling to honour matches since they had no money to pay affiliation and registration fees to the federations, raise transport money to honour matches and referees payments,” Waithaka lamented.

“I commit to pay affiliation and registration fees for all football clubs in Makadara and facilitate them to foot transport money to help them honour matches,” Waithaka promised.
