July 5, 2019 - Jacob Ojee, a talented KCB Rugby winger, has made history by becoming the first male rugby player to win the StarTimes Sports Personality of the month award.
He achieved this feat in May, after playing a pivotal role in his team's third consecutive Kenya Cup crown win against Kabras, scoring 18 points from a try, two conversions, and three penalties.
Speaking during the award presentation ceremony, StarTimes Regional Director of Marketing Mr. Aldrine Nsubuga congratulated Ojee, noting that he becomes the 23rd recipient of the award, which has recognized nearly all sports disciplines apart from football.
“Congratulations are in order having been voted the standout player within your team and against other shortlisted athletes. StarTimes has since awarded almost all other sports disciplines apart from football and it is interesting to note that in rugby, you’re the first male player to win the monthly award.” Noted Mr. Nsubuga.
Ojee received a StarTimes 43-inch digital television set and Kshs 100,000 prize money for his exploits.
