Football Kenya Federation President Nick Mwendwa led football fans in mourning the fallen Dickson Oruko.
Oruko, the FKF Kisumu branch chairman died at the Eldoret Referral Hospital on Wednesday after a long battle with diabetes.
“I am saddened by the passing on of FKF Kisumu Branch Chairman, Dickson Oruko,” mourned Mwendwa
The FKF boss said death had robbed him of a self-driven and focused colleague who shared the vision of the national office at the grassroots.
“Chair Oruko has not only supported my football development agenda, wholeheartedly, but has also been at the forefront in running our grass root football development programs in Kisumu.
Oruko was serving his first term in office, having previously occupied the FKF Nyanza North secretary seat before taking a stab at his new role.
