Omwenga has been a top performer for Simba wa Nairobi since his arrival back in February 2021.
He made a similar list, albeit the reserve one – alongside Erick Ombija – at end of matchday 13 in late February after a 2-0 win away to, just like now, Western Stima.
While Omwenga made the TOTW, the league analysts picked Peter Pinchez Opiyo as the MVP in after the game. He scored a very late penalty to win the game Tuesday game at Ruaraka.

Internally, Kevin Chumsy Okumu was picked as the MVP in that game. Two of his late deliveries from the right-wing brought about the goals by Erick Ombija and Opiyo that turned around the game.
