The County Assembly passed the Sports Fund bill that paved way for athe county to spend money on sporting activities the 2018/19 financial year.  

The Bill has since been assented to Governor Wycliffe Oparanya making it a county law. Homeboyz will get Sh25million set aside to finance sporting activities.

Sports CEC Robert Makhanu said Sh10 million will be spend on Governor’s cup and football development. Makhanu said Homeboyz have received Sh3 million to sign new players.
