Nakuru RFC also wishes to express firm solidarity with the brave men and women serving in the KDF. We do not condone any activities that subvert the security of our soldiers and our Nation and we recognise that many have laid down their lives for the security we are privileged to enjoy today. We are particularly concerned that sports events have been considered a legitimate soft target by terrorists in the past and it is therefore our firm resolution that any attempts to infuse terrorist activities into sports or any other facet of society must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. We have already contacted the relevant security agencies and pledged our full co-operation with the ongoing investigations and we will continue to do everything in our means to protect our players from any negative influences in our society and to mentor them in the proud traditions of our Club and our Country.
