The Kenya Rugby Union is excited to learn of the nominations of Rugby Africa President Mr. Khalid Babbou and Mr. Mark Alexander, President of the South African Rugby Union, for positions on the World Rugby Executive Committee.

This is the first time that Rugby Africa has representation on the highest decision making organ of rugby’s global governing body. It is our sincere hope that the two esteemed rugby men will continue with their progressive leadership while advancing the African agenda.

The Chairman and Board hereby offer their congratulations to Messrs Babbou and Alexander on this landmark nomination. The KRU continues to work well with both Rugby Africa and SARU and looks forward to a continuation of the existing relationships
