At a meeting held on June 5, 2025  at the RFUEA Grounds, the Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) Board unanimously elected Harriet Okatch as the new chairperson for the remaining term after Chairman Alexander “Sasha” Mutai resigned on Friday, May 30 2025.

When Harriet joined the KRU Board for the first time, she won the most votes of any board member in the 2023 AGM, which was held at the same location. 

Harriet Okatch was Kisumu RFC's Honorary Treasurer before being elected, and she has subsequently taken over as Director in charge of Marketing and Commercial, spearheading initiatives to increase the game's exposure and draw in new sponsors.

“I’m humbled to be entrusted with this position.
Thank you to the affiliates, KRU Board, and stakeholders for your support.
To our secretariat and the playing component, thank you for focusing on keeping the game going in spite of all the turmoil.
To our fans and all stakeholders, Sports unites, so please let’s all come together in growing this game that we all love. Asante sana,” said Harriet Okatch.
