The Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) Board will decide between two nominees—Moses Olukohe Ndale and Harriet Achieng Okach—for the position of KRU Chairperson.

According to a communique to affiliates seen by Scrummage Africa, the board will meet on Friday, 5th June 2025 to deliberate and appoint one of the two candidates as the next Chairperson of the Union

“The Board of Kenya Rugby Union, in its meeting held on 3rd June 2025, received the following nominees for consideration for appointment as the Chairman and/or Chairperson of Kenya Rugby Union: Harriet Achieng Okach and Moses Olukohe Ndale. The board has scheduled a meeting on 5th June 2025 to deliberate on the nominees and appoint either of them,” read a letter by KRU Honorary Secretary Raymond Olendo.

The development follows the earlier appointment of Moses Ndale as the Acting Chairman in late May 2025, after the resignation of Alexander “Sasha” Mutai.

EDITOR’S PICKS:

Ndale, who has served as KRU Vice Chairman since his election in September 2022, stepped into the role in an acting capacity for a 14-day period.

KRU confirmed Ndale’s temporary appointment in a statement issued on Friday, 30th May 2025, following a Special General Meeting (SGM) held at the RFUEA Grounds.

Mutai, elected unopposed as KRU Chairman in 2023, had come under mounting pressure in recent months, culminating in a motion for his ouster presented at the SGM.

In his farewell address to club chairpersons, Mutai expressed gratitude to the rugby fraternity for the opportunity to serve and highlighted key milestones achieved during his tenure.
