Kibwage is the new captain and he will be assisted by Kilume.
“It’s a good feeling to be given such a position at the club, it shows that the team management has trust in me, Kibwage, who also served as KCB captain, said after the confirmation of his new position.
“I look forward to reciprocating the same trust back to the team in terms of performance both as an individual and as a team. I feel so happy and am ready for the task ahead.”
