Jobita: Club chairman reveals why Western Stima will retain name

Kenyan Premier League (KPL) side Western Stima will retain their name for the new campaign.

Many expected the Kisumu-based charges to change their name after the exit of their main sponsors Kenya Power and Lighting Company a couple of months ago. The company has been sponsoring the team since 2000 but the change of structure led to their exit from sponsoring sports.

"We will retain the name Western Stima, it is not going to change, at least not now," club chairman Laban Jobita told Goal.
