They have registered two draws and a similar number of losses and on Wednesday after the barren draw with Kakamega Homeboyz at Nyayo Stadium, fans at the stadium expressed their disappointment by summoning captain Eugene Mukangula for a meeting where they aired their frustrations.##NAJAVA_MECA_6900541##Ingwe’s start to the new campaign was dealt a blow when ten of their players were not cleared to play just before the commencement of the new season due to a transfer ban that was slapped on the club by FIFA, four of them have been cleared to feature with the club hopeful that they will have the remaining six available in due course.Aussems wants to put the first five games behind him and says the season starts in January. Ingwe will play Nairobi City Stars on 4th January 2023.“For me, the AFC Leopards’ season starts in January because we will have more players and I will be able to train and use all my group.
