Peter Kiguru has taken over as the Kenya Golf Union (KGU) Chairman, succeeding Ben Omuodo in the election held last Sunday during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the Muthaiga Golf Club.
“The current golf programs have primarily been funded by affiliation fees from members’ clubs, a position that is no longer sustainable. We intend to draw value propositions to corporates and specifically identify the value to be gained. With the current Covid-19 pandemic, the corporates are interested in the value gained and not just the normal routine sponsorships that are quickly forgotten as soon as the events are over,” said Kiguru
During the elections, all the five Executive members were re-elected after outsiders Martin Nyaga, Joe Kehara and Taufiq Balala failed to muster enough votes to oust the incumbents. The five- Collins Ojiambo, Chris Muchugu, David Ndungu, Karugu Macharia and Peter Kimani- will serve for another term of one year together with newcomer Chris Kinuthia. George Gathu, Njani Ndiritu and Philip Ochola sailed through unopposed for the positions of Vice Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary respectively
