Principal Secretary for Correctional Services Dr. Salome Beacco paid a special visit to the Kenyan netball team residing at YWCA Fort Canning, Singapore, as they continue their campaign in the Singapore Mirxes Nations Cup 2024. Dr. Beacco, who is in Singapore attending the International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA) Annual Conference, was joined by Commissioner General of Prisons Patrick Aranduh and Kenyan Ambassador to Singapore Nael Chandaria.
During the visit, the PS expressed her support for the team and assured them of continued backing from the government, wishing them success in the championship. The Kenyan team, having already secured a place in the semi-finals, is vying for the prestigious Nations Cup trophy, currently held by defending champions Singapore.
Kenya’s impressive 49-36 victory over the Singapore Vandas in their most recent match gave them a strong chance of reaching the final, following a setback in their previous game against the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where they lost 44-37. The win over Singapore brought Kenya level with the host team in the standings, both securing two wins and one loss so far.
With the UAE remaining unbeaten at the top of the six-team standings, Kenya will face the Singapore A team tomorrow, in what promises to be a crucial match as they seek to clinch a spot in the final on September 7.
The Kenyan team is hoping to bring home the Nations Cup trophy for the first time, continuing their strong performance in the tournament.
