City tycoon Agnes Kagure has praised Kenyan cricket star Aasif Karim for his remarkable achievement of being inducted into the World Hall of Fame, even as she openly advocated for the creation of the museum of sports for the legends like Aasif who have continued to raise the Kenyan flag high in the global arena.
In a heartfelt message shared on Facebook, Kagure highlighted Karim’s outstanding contribution to cricket and his role as a mentor in the sport.

“I heartily congratulate my friend Aasif Karim, who has elevated Kenya’s name as a cricket player and champion and earned his place in the World Hall of Fame as an outstanding sportsman and mentor,” Kagure wrote.
Kagure celebrated not only Karim’s success but also the legacy of his family. Following in the footsteps of his father, Yusuf Karim, Aasif made his mark on the global cricket stage. His influence continues through his son, Irfan Karim, who now plays cricket for England.
Kagure’s post also praised other Kenyan sports legends who have made significant contributions and mentored the next generation. She called for the establishment of a museum dedicated to Kenya’s sports heroes to honour their achievements and preserve their legacies for future generations.
“It’s high time we had a museum dedicated to our sportsmen and women for posterity,” Kagure stated, emphasising the importance of celebrating and remembering those who have put Kenya on the global sports map.
Her call for a sports museum is a powerful endorsement of Kenya’s sporting history and the need to recognise the heroes who have helped shape it. The post has resonated widely, drawing attention to the achievements of Kenya’s sports stars and the need for a fitting tribute to their contributions.
All the same, it remains to be seen what will happen (soon) in the political arena owing to the fact that Agnes Kagure has come out strongly to avail herself as an alternative or rather the solutions to the current problems facing Nairobi County.
