“I have found out that Bokoli High rugby team has been what we can call participatory in school games rugby but I want to change that narrative to become competitors and not participants,” he said.
“I am fully aware that Bungoma County has rugby heavyweights like Bungoma High who have managed to be first runners up in East Africa School Games, there is also Kibabii High, Kamusinde and Friends School Kamusinga but I have just come to bring competition in to this game,” he warned rivals in Bungoma County.
A highly decorated tactician, Okwemba guided Koyonzo to multiple titles, including the 2023 East Africa 7s crown. He expressed confidence that The Stommers will continue shining even in his absence.
“We have been at Koyonzo for the last seven years and we have managed to win a lot of titles including one East Africa and national titles and that’s what we have done. I leave behind experienced players who are so good and I would love to see them shining more”, Okwemba said
