Kenya scrabble seed one Nderitu Gitonga will be seeking to win his third consecutive national gong when more than 80 national scrabble masters converge at Elegant Hotel for the third national circuit in Bungoma County on Saturday.

Fresh from winning the Nairobi and Kitui circuits, Gitonga will be eying for a triple win of the 2020 season but has to face longtime rival and East Africa number one Allan Oyende.
