KRU Mourns The Death Of Andrew Wekesa
The Board, management and staff of the Kenya Rugby Union are deeply saddened by the news of Andrew Wekesa’s tragic death in Mlolongo on Sunday 15 January 2017.
Andrew, a 2016 graduate of the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, played as a prop forward at Menengai Cream Homeboyz, a team he joined in 2011 upon completion of his secondary education at the Kakamega High School. He had a year’s stint at the Resolution Impala Saracens in 2014 before returning to Homeboyz where he last featured in their 33-32 Kenya Cup defeat to the Strathmore Leos on Saturday 10 December 2016.
He also played for the Kenya U19s at the 2011 Rugby Africa U19 Championships, represented franchise sides Chui and Papa in the 2013 and 2014 Rugby Super Series and was part of the provisional Kenya Simbas squad in 2013.
Investigations into the circumstances surrounding his death are currently being conducted by law enforcement agencies and we request for the avoidance of any form of speculation. Further communication regarding funeral plans will be conveyed by his family and club.
Our deepest sympathies go out to the Wekesa family, Menengai Cream Homeboyz and all who knew and interacted with Andrew. We pray for the comfort and peace that they seek. May his soul rest in peace.
