Cecafa has secured a better leader in Gecheo - Nyamweya

Former Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Sam Nyamweya has welcomed the appointment of Auka Gecheo as the new Council of East and Central Africa Football Association (Cecafa) Secretary-General succeeding Nicholas Musonye.

Gecheo was unveiled on Tuesday in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in a ceremony attended by new Cecafa president Wallace Karia. The 67-year old believes Gecheo is the right man owing to his vast experience in regional football.

"I want to thank Cecafa for settling for Gecheo because he is a man who understands football since his time at SuperSport," Nyamweya told Goal on Thursday.
