Kenya Police impressive runoff form continued on Wednesday when they hammered Bidco United 3-0 in a midweek FKF Premier League clash played at St. Sebastian Park in Murang’a County.
Since firing Salim Babu, Police who have since been under the tutelage of Burundian tactician Etienne Ndayiragije made it three wins in a row after former Gor Mahia captain Kenneth Muguna scored a brace.
David Odhiambo put the Law Enforcers ahead in the 14th minute before Muguna made sure Police took a comfortable 2-0 into the break when he found the back of the net two minutes to half time.
In the final half, Muguna completed his brace to seal a 3-0 win for Police.
The Burundian tactician begun his reign with a 3-1 win over Nairobi City Stars on December 4 before narrowly edging out Mara Sugar 1-0 over the weekend.
