 Hupama na. N episodes. We have a camera in the lands. We have a stool to learn. Thank you. You can't be good for this. I will look at the camera. Come also, let me move over here. You come over here. We are sorry for the delay and fortunately we have to solve some few issues that are now sorted. My name is Fred Arocho. Fred Arocho is a sports journalist and I also work here at ODIX. Welcome to ODI Center. This is where everything happens as far as ODIBETS and MATFUN is concerned. So without MATFUN, we are here to appreciate our stars 3x3. 3x3. Yeah, I was given some words to say, 3x3. So before we move to the team from ODIBETS, I'd like to call upon Angi to do a short introduction to the team from 3x3. Then of course we'll move to the hosts and I'm glad that my general manager is already here. My director of marketing at ODIBETS is also here so we can begin. So Angi, Karibusana and give us, tell us about your team. Kindly hold on to this because he needs it. Okay, good afternoon everyone. Thank you so much for this opportunity. My name is Angela Luchilia. I'm the secretary general of Kenya Basketball Federation and with me here is our treasurer at Kenya Basketball Federation, Honorable Pito Revo. We have the players also 3x3 women players. The women senior team actually, the champions of Africa. So we have Joy Mufalia. We have the team manager, Neliodera and Medina Okot. Our upcoming and soya winner of 2022. Most promising player with us here. Hilda Luvandwa who is one of our elite players and has been one of the members of our national team is also on her way here and Coach Kedugo will be on her way here. Thank you. Okay. Sakusana, thank you Angi. At this moment perhaps we'll get a word from Moshimio as the guy who handles cash and of course we also need to get a word from the player at least. Let's start with the player, one of you to say a word. I know you are heading for a tournament. So at least to hear from you before we hear from the treasurer who is also my area MP, Teribu Sana and my former coach. He is former lot of things to me but Moshimio will come next. I want to hear a word from one of our players kindly. One of the players. Wow. The one who is just coming. Teribu Sana. You are just under the bus. Oh you are the captain. My name is Arocho. There is only one Arocho in this world. There is only one in this world. Teribu Sana. Good afternoon everyone. First of all I apologize for being late. I was lost in the break buildings. Yes. So I'm really honored to be here. I want to thank Odibet for coming on board and really supporting us and showing us how you really want to see what you can do. We've been very committed in this sport. Even my teammates can adjust but we don't even wait for official training days. We'll be doing continuous training. People have been gathering and gathering the resources to try and make the team, have meetings and training. Most of the time material. Most of our players are students. So you can imagine what you mean by saying that. SG, ANG, has been really helpful. Ebon Trejana Maishimiwa has been really supportive. And I really want to take this opportunity to say that we appreciate the assistance that we are getting from because most of the time when we see sponsors, we just know they are going to SOKA. So to see people actually have their eye on us really gives us morale and we promise you are going to deliver. Yes. Thank you. Sorry I didn't ask you to say something. Basically what does this partnership mean to you as a team? It's good you've talked about most of these sponsors go direct to SOKA. To hear it from you, how does this sponsorship going to help you guys as players as you proceed to the next assignment? So it's going to facilitate mostly our preparation. And also when we go there having a sponsor like 4debats is really going to give us mileage. This is very good marketing especially for 4debats because we are going out there and we are going to be seen by the whole world. Right now our name is on the map because of the performance that we displayed in December. I don't know if most of you have seen it but this partnership is really going to take both of us miles ahead and we are going to place each other concurrently on the map of the world. Thank you. Thank you captain. Sante Sana for your lovely speech. These guys are seeing me on TV and when you see me on TV you want to talk to me please. That's not the time. Now the next pick up I believe is going to be my former coach and the current MP for Kibra. And of course the treasurer Karibu Sana. Thank you Sante Sana for your lovely speech. This is the 4th estate. I don't know where that name came from. And which one is the first estate. Now we are here today on behalf of Kenya Basketball Federation. Now yesterday almost at midnight my ebu secretary sent me a text that are you still on we can talk. I told her I'm on in my bed but you can spare time so that we could talk because the audibates had come to our aid and had told us that you can help us with a small sponsorship to allow our 3xC team travel. You know we had gone into camp yesterday. They didn't know they would travel because we did not have the funds. So we just came in at the right time and we said oh god let's take this and we had now to postpone all our things and come here today. I want to say this is one of the very very great achievements that we have seen in recent past. We are happy that audibates finally has come to partner with Kenya Basketball Federation and especially the 3x3. These are Africa champions. When you see them here they don't think they are just Kenyans. They are known all over the world. If you watch their game in Tunisia in deck it was a terrible, terrible win because they won in the last second and you became the champion. I think you also saw that during the Sawyer Award they were the winners of the Sawyer Award. It is not easy to be the winners of the Sawyer Award especially the ladies. So I want to give congratulations first to our ladies, lady teams for greater achievement. But most importantly today we are here. I'm here as the treasurer of Kenya Basketball Federation. The fans have not been forthcoming. You know the state of the economy now and you know how many federations struggle to raise and bring up good news. And now that you have come in we hope that in the future we are going to even build on this and create even a better partnership with you as a federation we are here to work with you together whatever you will bring on board. As you are very simple we don't have red tapes. When you see me here and the secretary the red tapes are over. So you will not need anything else to partner with us. And as executive we have agreed that we are ready to work and partner with you at any time. I would not wish not to mention that you are coming and help Kenya Basketball Federation. If these ladies travel they are going to gain worthwhile experience in readiness for their world championships which will be in Japan. So this will give us tremendous preparation we hope that as they will be there for the next one or so weeks it will give them the impetus it will give them the experience and they will develop more skills so that when they go for the world championship maybe it will be the winners. We encourage that this kind of partnership may continue and when you come or when they come back we hope we are going to get even greater and better working relationship. Otherwise I thank you for being here and I hope you will continue to work here. We are here for you. That is why I always work behind the scenes so that people don't say who you are more as a person and you work with basketball. But we love the game, we promote the game and we are here for you. Thank you very much Mishimio. What you didn't say is that you are my coach once and I believe that most of the guys who see me don't believe that I once kicked a ball. But try me, try me. Now at this particular moment I'll move over to the host side and once again for the guys who are just coming in welcome to Odi Center. This is the center where Odi Bet does his stuff. So at this moment I'd like to call upon the county director, marketing director Mr. Agri Sayi to give us a word and in turn welcome my general manager Mr. Mungai who has also joined us. Karibusana Agri Sayi. Thanks Fred. Ladies and gentlemen I'd like to greet you good afternoon all of you. Good afternoon. As Fred has said my name is Agri. I work in this brand. I work in this brand to sell Odi Bet. But then we have sister companies whom when we were having a discussion with the federation with regards to this sponsorship they also said they are happy and pleased to join us in this support. So before I can say a word I'd like to invite my colleague from MADFAN as you can see we have MADFAN and Odi Bet. So Odi Bet is doing part of the sponsorship but then MADFAN is also doing part of the sponsorship MADFAN Tina you will tell us what it does and then what you guys are doing to this beautiful lady kindly. Thank you very much. Polen you have a better of the flu that is going on. I think I heard you mention that the ladies were stuck wondering how they are going to travel how they are going to move around and that compelled us to come on board to support you to walk the journey with you. This partnership ideally means that we are able to solve a lot of the challenges that women in sports and athletes generally face. It's financial barriers and we are coming on board to ensure that all your travel expenses all your travel needs booking flights accommodation is also taken and that ensures that you can focus on your performance you can focus on putting in the best food and keep on delivering the results that you've been delivering. So we are proud. We are proud to partner with you and we are happy that you agreed to have us on board as part of your partners There's something to say that when you empower a woman you empower a community and by this partnership we believe that we can keep empowering women we can keep promoting diversity and inclusivity in the sporting world but over and above that we can keep inspiring the next generation. So the people look up to you what's trying to do is we see you, we believe in you and we are ready to walk the journey with you Thank you Thank you Tino I'll try to be as brief as possible because you know my GM is here and if he speaks too much I'll end him and he'll get rid of me So first of all I want to say thank you to all of you for making time to come I was really really short Yesterday we were doing a meeting I think thanks to zoom no one can know if a dress could never trouser So we were having a zoom meeting with other of our colleagues yesterday as we were discussing this partnership but then it's only Angie and him and the rest were here who could see that I was in a short layer gym but now we had to discuss this partnership and when you were discussing it Angie was short because I have a clear understanding of basketball because I know everyone in basketball even the players and as a company I want to say we are really excited and happy to support the three on three women basketball team the women basketball team in Kenya embodies resilience and strength and especially the strength of a woman if I would use Hilda as a player I know I can run very fast but I can't run faster than you though I'm sure I can run faster than my GM but I've seen Hilda playing quite some time and you're a symbol of pwa and sheer resilience and it's embodied even in the rest of the team without fans we fans you guys are playing and grinding every day and so as a company we are happy to also work this journey with you so today as we announced this partnership it's not the first partnership that the company is doing to the sports fraternity we've been doing it since inception from Madara United we did it with the national football team Harambe Stars we've done it with several grassroot teams and we're doing it under an initiative which we are calling Odin Town Odin Town is an initiative where we're using where we're giving back to the community in terms of support and empowerment so we believe this sponsorship will be able to inspire generations to believe that they can be able to also play basketball to the higher levels and not only in basketball but even there are female athletes to be able to believe that they can do it because if I am in Homa Bay or in Kitui and I have a dream of playing basketball I can see that this is a champion because this team they are the reigning African champions so as Odin Bates we are happy and proud to partner and support your journey as we prepare for the Olympics qualifiers and we wish you well and we hope this partnership can span ages and ages as we continue supporting sports in this country so I want to say thank you once more and we can only hope to see you guys winning more medals and qualifying for the Olympics because we've done these things before I remember when we were starting supporting on Wanyala when it was just coming up people didn't believe that Kenya we can have sprinters but I mean right now is the number one sports personality in this country so thank you so much and on behalf of the company we wish you well and at this juncture I want to say I want to ask my GM to come and put forward his remarks and sorry for taking too much of your time but thank you so much and may God bless you thank you members of the fourth and fifth states our captain, our team to be X3 our SG and Mwashi Mio and also my colleagues and friends but it's a zero mafia first and foremost thank God we might forgive you as a opportunity to be here and to thank the team for accepting our late call yesterday at night being humble enough to sit with us through the night I think we had back to back meetings and the team ended up staying here very late thank you for being patient with us I'd also want to thank our partners Manfa for stepping in and just helping us crunch down these numbers and get this team to hit their targets first and foremost is to say to the spirit of excellence that has been displayed by the team congratulations very proud of you guys and last month I need to get to keep on standing with you guys we are happy that you are doing this journey albeit on short notice we believe you guys will get there and give your best because when you come back and there is a win or not there is going to be more surprises thank you for mentioning one item that most sponsors will go to Sokka we did mention last year that we'll be getting into more CSRs and going across the scope and not just Sokka I think we've displayed this by showing now we've gotten into female basketball and we will continue to spread across other sports this is a commitment that we made and also as mandated by ourselves by BCLB having mentioned that we are grateful that you are carrying the national flag at this point I know a debate will come as a second flag but the fact that you are carrying the national flag means that every single child somewhere in the village every single adult or ever there in the office we are looking forward to you guys and we are looking up to the performance that will clearly be the story of the decade I don't mention too much but I don't mention the fact that we are opening up quite a number of ideas in terms of sports give all the details here there's quite a lot of surprises you'll be seeing as you come up some in Sokka some in the box let's say athletics I might be giving you too much information so we'll be giving you more surprises as we continue I don't want to push too much because I think we need to release you guys to get ready I don't want us to jump right into the sponsorship and also to please, please bear in mind carry the name of the country very responsibly that is the biggest part for us and as we've had Mahesh is a man of many cups so and that makes it very happy to see that we have a massive group of people my colleague Agra is actually a very ardent sports person I'm also a very ardent sports person at least I can compete with Arocho in speed the rest of it I'm very ardent in watching sports let's leave it at that and of course also I can beat Sir Alex in any game I think I'm covered I think I'm covered so we're not going to verify I think let's jump into the next part of the unveiling sponsorship so that we can release the good ladies thank you very much my GM will just be just hold so let's have we're going to have the Jesus then we'll have the check what my GM perhaps forgot is that Angela the lady who won yesterday a gold medal was also on this floor when she received some sponsorship from the other partner
