We respect the players at our disposal and we assure them that we will continue treating them right, ” he said.Lubembe in the meantime thanked the club’s sponsor for the financial support afforded throughout the season, that he noted played a massive role to their promotion.Immigration boss replaces Musalia Mudavadi as AFC Leopards patronNPS TEAMS SET TO DOMINATE FOOTBALL WITH APS BOMET TAUNTED TO JOIN THE ELITE KENYA PREMIER LEAGUE. pic.twitter.com/bNC8H9BuRw— National Police Service-Kenya (@NPSOfficial_KE) July 13, 2022 He also lauded the home fans for rallying behind the team and called on them to back the team in the remaining two rounds against Muhoroni Youth and Murang’a Seal respectively.”My gratitude goes to our sponsor, the Kenya Police Service for bankrolling us throughout the season.
