Football fans in Bungoma had a reason to celebrate over the weekend after a team from local betting firm Triple5bet pitched camp in the town, located in Western Kenya.

Triple5bet awarded full kits to two football teams in Bungoma, one of the hotspots for local football talent in Kenya.

Ask any upcoming footballer about the challenges they face in their careers, and the answer is almost unanimous – lack of kits.

Triple5bet understands these challenges and that is why they came up with their Ng’arisha Team, a mega project which will see the firm award kits to hundreds of grassroot football clubs.

The Ng’arisha Team Project has already seen the firm award teams from underprivileged areas in Nairobi like Kibera, Githurai and Eastlands.

Teams from Kisumu, Kakamega, Eldoret, Machakos, Nakuru and Thika have also benefited from the Ng’arisha Team Project. The Triple5bet management says they intend to traverse the whole country and reach the remotest of teams with these projects.

“This is just the beginning; we have so much more in store for our local teams” a senior manager at the firm said, adding that the initial plan is to kit two teams from every area before they expand.

Though a new entrant in the Kenyan betting industry, Triple5bet have set themselves apart from their peers with very ambitious society building projects.

The firm also has mouthwatering bonuses for both new and existing customers. New customers get 100% bonus on their first deposit.

All you have to do is to open a new account at triple5bet.com, deposit and stake any amount from Ksh 50 to Ksh 5000 and claim your 100%.

All existing customers also get a 50% bonus on their first stake of the day. These guys really know how to take care of their customers.

Machakos County governor Alfred Mutua has broken his silence on the massive hotel being put up in Machakos, named A and L hotel. The A & L stands for Alfred and Lilian, who is Dr Mutua’s wife.

The hotel takes the shape of a wedge with an oval base according to the 16-floor plan shared in 2016 by Dubai-based architect Svilen Yordanov.

Yordanov works under Meraas Holding and seems to be one high-end architect handling some of the most prominent clients in United Arab Emirates.

Photos of the design were on Tuesday June 23, 2020 widely shared on social media.

Responding to the photos on Wednesday June 24, 2020, Governor Mutua confirmed that the A&L hotel currently under construction was his.

Mutua who spoke to a local news outlet however, maintained that the images shared were inaccurate.

He noted that he own hotels and lodges and have had them since he was working in Dubai in 2002 and as Government Spokesperson.

Construction of the hotel is in its final stages with only finishing touches remaining.

On Saturday, June 20, a 35 kilometre run undertaken by Mutua’s wife, Lilian, to celebrate turning 35 ended at the near-complete A&L Hotel.

Mutua joined her at the 25 kilometre mark and ran the remaining distance to the hotel on Machakos Road, in the presence of athletes and other friends of the family.

He however, dismissed allegations that his latest investment was linked to proceeds of corruption, citing his track record as an entrepreneur.

“I have been an entrepreneur since I was 19 years old when I registered my first company. I published a newsletter and a magazine.

“I own a production company that made Cobra Squad, Beba Beba etc. And many years before I became the Governor of Machakos, I ran a local TV station. I also have interests in aviation and export-based agriculture,” Mutua stated.

Nairobi has been hit hard, having registered the highest number of new Covid-19 cases that were announced on Friday May 22, 2020.

Speaking in Machakos while giving the daily Covid-19 updates, Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe confirmed 52 new cases of coronavirus.

Out of the 52 new cases, 23 cases have come from Nairobi, with Mombasa and Busia having seven each.

The cases were confirmed  from a sample size of 2,567 tested in the last 24 hours. This brings to 1161 total number of confirmed positive Covid-19 cases in the country.

However, Nairobi’s Kibra is now becoming a hot spot for the deadly virus.

Out of the 23 cases that came from Nairobi, eight are from Kibra. The densely populated area now has a total of 60 confirmed positive Covid-19 cases.

CS Kagwe said to keep the numbers low, Kenyans must adhere to measures as directed by the government. He expressed his fear in the rising number of cases in Kibra.

On Thursday May 21, the ministry through Dr Patrick Amoth also projected that the peak of infections in the country is expected to be around August and September, when Kenyans are expected to see at least 200 cases recorded in a day.
