AFC Leopards woes  continued to bite yet again with club acting  Chairman Walter Onyino throwing in the towel.
Consequently, Embakasi branch Chairman Daniel Mule  has been appointed as the acting Chair until fresh elections  will be held on Saturday December 12th.

In a short text message, Onyino said he opted  to step side  since there were  too much infighting in the club that made his work and operation untenable.

He has cited the ongoing wrangles brought by the rival group led by Mathews Opwora as his reason for stepping down.The current office bearers were elected in June  2013 to serve a three-year term which was set to end in June 2016, but it was agreed during the club’s Annual General Meeting held in June this year that
elections be held at the end of the year after the endless problems witnessed at the den.

Club acting secretary General Prof.Kadima Asava has confirmed that Mule  who was the Vice Chairman  will take over  the mantle until when elections will be  held  later this year.Contacted,Mule called  for calm and patience. He said with unity, the club  can go  far adding that all is  not lost.

‘It’s unfortunate  that Onyino has stepped aside.He will  continue to remain a  life member and I  don’t think all is  lost .He is still around and I’m sure he  will  be available  to render support.This  is a club that belongs  to everyone.We have  met so many challenges but all this  will be a thing of the past.I;m calling  for calm as we try
to  consult with stakeholders “ Observed Mule.

Onyino  who is  a banker by profession has found the heat at the den too much to stand barely two months  after he was mandated  by members.

Onyino was elected Ingwe chairman by the club’s National Executive Committee (NEC) at the end of June 2015 replacing Allan Kasavuli who resigned from the position due to the financial problems and wrangles witnessed at the club.

AFC Leopards have a tricky assignment this weekend .They will host visiting Western Stima at the Nyayo National Stadium
