NMG Launches New Newspaper Which Maina Kageni Will Now Be Working For

The Nation Media Group (NMG) yesterday evening unveiled its first English sports newspaper at a ceremony attended by Sports Minister Ababu Namwamba and leading sports personalities in Nairobi. Dubbed “Sport-On”, the bi-weekly Newspaper will be in circulation every Monday and Friday at various outlets countrywide.

Classic 105’s Maina Kageni is one of the columnists for the newspaper. Being a dedicated football fan (a Manchester United supporter), Maina’s article is on page 3 of today’s issue where he gives his perspective about the English Premier League (EPL) with special focus on Arsenal FC’s streak of poor performances.

Retailing at Sh.30, the newspaper hit the streets today and NMG expects a positive feedback. Last year, the Standard Group launched a similar newspaper, “Game Yetu” and a cut-throat competition is expected between the two sports magazines.
