Esther Passaris on Tuesday 26th came to the rescue of city teams that had failed to pay Football Kenya Federation (FKF) subscription fees.
Passaris launched a partnership between her office through the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) and the FKF to support Nairobi County football teams that are struggling to subscribe to their FKF membership.
The Nairobi legislator launched the collaboration in Kasarani where she presided over a colorful event and presented a cheque of Sh16 million to FKF president Nick Mwendwa.
The MP also gave out sports kits worth Sh3 million. Speaking to players drawn from several constituencies, she expressed her commitment to the empowerment of the youths by supporting sports talent.
On his side, FKF president Nick Mwendwa welcomed the move and thanked the lawmaker for committing to the youth in the city. He, however, urged the beneficiaries to keep working hard and avoid squandering the opportunity given to them by the Government.
