The Nakuru AllStars has today secured a six million sponsorship deal with Menengai Oil Refineries Limited, through their Top Fry franchise, a deal that will run for three consecutive years.
The six million Kenya shillings dummy cheque was presented to the AllStars CEO Robert Muthomi, who was also accompanied by head coach Peter Okidi, together with team captains Evans Omondi, and Anthony Ng'ang'a, during a ceremony held at the Oyster Shell resort in the Nakuru Milimani area, where the two partners involved announced their partnership.

Speaking during the launch, the CEO said that they were very pleased to have agreed on a sponsorship deal with Menengai. "We are very pleased to be partnering with a very big name in the cooperate world." said the CEO. He went on to reiterate that Menengai Oil's involvement in other sponsorship deals with other sports outfits both in the town and around the country as one of the main reasons as to why the AllStars wanted to get into a deal with the company. "We are happy to have joined the family of sport clubs under the umbrella of the Top Fry brand."
The six million shillings is to be sub-divided into three years of two million shillings per year, with other incentives coming in the form of kits, training and playing facilities, and win bonuses, although a figure has not been agreed on that, and that decision will entirely be the sponsor's. The deal will also see the Nakuru AllStars change its name to the 'Top Fry AllStars', with the naming rights being part of the deal.
Speaking on behalf of the Menengai Oil Refineries Limited, Onkar Singh Rai, the company's managing director, said he was "...very proud to be associated with the AllStars, the oldest team in Kenya, ...now under the new flagship the Top Fry AllStars." Mr. Onkar said that one of the main reasons as to why he agreed to work with the AllStars is the charity work and the development of the youth the AllStars club has so far been involving itself with. "I find that very inspiring for such a small club...to try and take a hundred and seventy boys and have them play football, than sitting in the streets."
