FKFPL New Bandari board commence inquest into club stagnation

Kiplagat Sang 18:30 - 17.05.2023

The new team was appointed in another season that is set to end trophyless for the Mombasa team.

Bandari FC’s new board held a consultative meeting on Wednesday after recent changes made by the Kenya Ports Authority.

The Football Kenya Federation Premier League club is managed by the ports authority – through a board of trustees - which made changes to the top management of the team.

The new board held its meeting, which was led by vice chairman Twaha Mbarak, a known football administrator from the coastal region.

Hajj Masemo, Salim Ali, Raymond Ogola, Gabriel Mgendi, Ricky Solomon, Cleopatra Taabu, Nurein Shekue, Mohammed Ahmed, Patricia Manthi, Rajab Babu, and Vincent Kosgei also attended the Wednesday meeting.

In the new changes made by KPA’s managing director, William Ruto, Raymond Ogolla was appointed as club treasurer, while Cleopatra Taabu was given public relations and organising secretary duties.

Mbarak vowed to help the Mbaraki-based side turn into a more competitive side.

"Bandari are sleeping giants, and there is an urgent need to awaken them from their slumber. They ought to be among the top title contenders each season," he said after he was confirmed as the new vice-chair.

Although they have been consistent participants in the top-tier, the Dockers have failed to challenge for the title.

With 30 games played so far, Bandari are sixth with 48 points, a whopping 16 points behind league leaders Tusker.

After they were eliminated by AFC Leopards from the FKF Cup, the technical team was reshuffled, with Anthony Kimani leaving as head coach and in came experienced Twahir Muhiddin.

After being held to a 1-1 draw by Nairobi City Stars in their last league match, they are set to face struggling Wazito on May 28.
