According to the club’s Chairman of Chairmen, Mr. .Franklin Imbenzi, “Membership registration is an important revenue stream to the club and being a member of this great club gives you a strong sense of belonging and personal pride. As a member it also gives you an opportunity to grow socially as you are able to interact with people from different spheres during club activities.”
Mr.Hossea Kisienya, Secretary General of the Chairman of the Chairmen caucus, lauded the members for registering in numbers. He says that his committee has lined up a couple of activities this year.
“Members should expect a revamped members welfare through the Ingwe Yamatere Members Welfare that will be able to handle the benevolence affairs of our members. Registration is already on by July 15th it will be up and running. There will be more InterBranches football, which will work towards bringing cohesion among the fans, especially on days the senior team is not playing. Finally, with the guidance of the National Executive Committee, we are looking forward to having membership cards.”
