Booker Odhiambo, a Kisumu Day sports enthusiast and hockey head coach, stated that Olunga wants to use Kisumu Day as a launchpad for the next football generation.
“We discussed different matters between education and sports. We want to work with him to help to link our players to foreign clubs, admit MOFA players to Kisumu Day and many others,” said Odhiambo who led Kisumu day to the nationals in both hockey and football.
On Monday, Olunga visited Wang’apala High School in his home constituency of Kabondo-Kasipul, Homabay County.
