Carl Okuk

Sponsored by businessman Carl Okuk for the third consecutive year, the Watch Dogs were yesterday presented with a new set of uniforms and training gear worth over K5,000.

“On behalf of my husband and my two boys, we’re proud to continue to be sponsors of the team and wish you all the best,” said wife Esther Okuk.

Captain of the Watch Dogs, Kelly Billy, said he has trust and faith in the boys and believes they can go one step further this time around after being knocked out in the semi-finals last year.

In an election campaign held at Works compound, Four-Mile, during the weekend, Kini Karawa, 67, from Gavoune village in the Abau district of Central Province, advised Carl to follow the trademarks of his father, the late Sir Iambakey Okuk.

“Your father was a true warrior. He was always fighting for the people and has brought many developments into this country,” Karawa said.

Karawa, now retired, had been working with the Forestry Department for 36 years.
