Tusker FC and Harambee Stars striker Ryan Ogam has been named the LG/Sports Journalists Association of Kenya (SJAK) Sports Personality for December 2024.

The 20-year-old, who is in his first season in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF PL), is the top scorer, with 13 goals, and contributed more than half of his team’s 23 goals.

In December, Ogam scored six goals to propel the former league champions to second place in the 18-team league.

“Ogam is just at the beginning of his career, but he is already making a great impact. This is the kind of talent that the SPOM was created for, and we are proud to recognise this young player today,” said LG’s Managing Director for East Africa, Dongwon Lee.

Ogam edged out Olympic champion Beatrice Chebet, Makueni Woman Rep Rose Museo, who won the East Africa Inter-Parliamentary Games People Living With Disabilities (PWD) darts title in Mombasa, and the Nairobi City Thunders duo of Garang Ding and Albert Adera.

Others who were competing for the gong included Robert Mcligeyo, who won the 2024 Kenya National Chess Championship (KNCC) unbeaten; Bernard Koyoko, who won his maiden Kenya Scrabble national title; World Half Marathon champion Sebastian Sewe Kimaru; and Wahome Mutahi for his exploits in winning the East and Central Africa FIM Motocross Challenge.
