On May 29, 2022, the Patron's Cup 2022, a Tier 1 match, took place at the Kirigiti Shooting Range in Kiambu county, attracting over 130 shooters from the disciplined forces and civilians.
The event, hosted by NGAO-Kenya, featured a fun shoot for guests, with notable attendees including Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed, Energy and Petroleum CS Monica Juma, and PS State Department for Industrialization Peter Kaberia.
NGAO-Kenya's patron, Anthony Mwaniki Muchiri, extended an invitation to the dignitaries, who were impressed by the event's success.
During the event, Muchiri emphasized the need for NGAO-Kenya to be recognized as a federation, allowing it to tap into the Sports Fund.
Responding to Muchiri's request, CS Amina stated that the government has implemented measures to support sports and popularize them.
“I declare today's event officially launched. I don't see why you should not be supported by the government. We will do what we can to recognize NGAO-Kenya as a sports federation so that it can get the relevant support it requires from the government,” said Amina.
The event also featured various competitions, with winners announced in different categories, including Master Ibrahim Ndungu in SSP, Master Eric Wachira in ESP, and Elias Kavwagi from Mombasa in BUG division.
