The former Gor Mahia defender has recently been linked with a move to AFC Leopards following impressive performances at the heart of Posta Rangers’ defence.

Posta Rangers head coach John Kamau says he will not stand in the way of Kennedy Owino’s move to AFC Leopards should both clubs agree on a deal for the former Gor Mahia defender.

Owino has been earning rave reviews from fans and the media for his performances at the heart of Rangers' defence which has moved them into title challenging positions.

The spirited captain has strongly been linked with a move to Ingwe, and Kamau has reacted to news that he could be on the move to the 12-time Kenyan champions, surprisingly giving his blessings over the situation.

“If there are such kind of rumors, for me, I have been known as a developer and I think I do not fear any player leaving the team,” Kamau said.

“If both clubs agree on something, then for me they have my blessing because when I came in here last season, there was no player who had an offer.”

Kamau has assured that his team will remain competitive whether Owino leaves or stays, saying he lost players to other clubs after last season and yet has managed to get his charges challenging for the title.

“Last season, we finished in 12th position and I think three of my players now are at Bandari. One of my players has been called up to the Sudan national team, also this season I know not just one but 12 players," he added.

“I am happy with the process. If they want to leave, the clubs can agree on something because they cannot leave for free. I am happy to let them go and we will be competitive.

“I can assure you that we will be competitive. I have lost matches with him, I have lost matches with other players, so why shy off?”

Looking ahead, Posta Rangers are gearing up to face Muhoroni Youth at the Kasarani Annex this Sunday.

This match will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike, as Posta aim to continue their impressive run and solidify their position in the league standings.
