KRFU Rejects Selectors Resignation

The Kenya Rugby Football Union has declined to accept the resignation of the national sevens team selectors and instead convened a meeting with them.

Frank Sabwa, The KRFU secretary said the selectors could have been ignored after the past two weeks proved busy and challenging for the sevens technical bench to come up with decisions without wider consultation. KRFU secretary Frank Sabwa, said he has written to the selectors’ chairman Bill Githinji and his colleagues Thomas Odundo and Paul Odera to rethink their decision. He said they still needed the coaches’ expertise as the union was restructuring its team selection.

“With four tours coming up for the Kenya Team and Shujaa, challenges cropped up, especially after some players were bogged down by school. The decisions to include players outside the pool of 24 players was urgent, considering these are amateurs,” said Sabwa.

Githinji and his team resigned early this week.
