He further made a humble request to the County Government of Mombasa to patronage all the protocols because they are costly to young organisations at County level.

 ‘’We will work out on what we can archive as per the guidelines. We appeal to Honourable Governor Hassan Ali Joho and the Department of Youth Gender and Sports to be on the forefront financially and socially so that our County can be vibrant again in football activities,‘’ he added

‘’As an organization we will make a courtesy call to Chief Officer of Sports very soon for discussion and implementation of the guidelines. ‘’
