Police in Likuyani, Kakamega County intervened to enforce Covid-19 regulations during a mass wedding at St Joseph’s Kongoni Catholic Church
A huge crowd had thronged the church on Wednesday to witness 49 couples tie the knot in a mass wedding organised by the church.
The couples aged between 49 and 87 walked into the church premises at 7 am, each accompanied by a maid of honour and the best man, ready for a day full of life and celebrations.
The church had organised what was to be a quick ceremony with the understanding that participants would adhere to Covid-19 protocols. The plan was to have one couple at a time exchange their vows as the others waited outside the church for their turn.
In the nine games they have played this season in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League, the Powermen have managed to get one win, two draws and six losses and as a result, they are in the 16th position with five points. We must bring in new players in the short transfer window, Jobita told
Goal on Tuesday. I am afraid the players we have cannot get us out of our current position. So we have to get players who will help us move upwards on the table before it is too late. I am waiting for the report from the technical bench and then we implement it as soon as possible.
Syll Owino would have made it 3-0 in the 67th minute when he connected with a delivery from a David Owino corner but his effort flew over the crossbar.
Since beating Vihiga United 1-0 in the opener, the subsequent results for Kakamega Homeboyz have been unconvincing as they drew against Posta Rangers and Nzoia Sugar and thereafter went on to lose to KCB, Ulinzi Stars, Tusker and Bandari.
Buoyed by the win, Nicholas Muyoti’s charges will face Wazito FC – who have recorded four consecutive wins – in the last game of the month on January 29. Next for Bidco United will be a home game against Posta Rangers on February 3.
