Sports in Kenya is truly shambolic
1. Football: Officials are mainly interested in throwing their faeces at each
other and grabbing power via the back door (Kasuve, Omino, hatimy et al) and
daring FIFA to suspend Kenya.
2. Rugby: Officials only want to drink themselves silly have no initiative and
zero accountability. Kenya recently failed miserably and is anything being done
? NO. Was any explanation offered ? No. Was a post mortem peformed ? No. Nothing
changed so Kenya can expect another sound beating at the hands of Tunisia. Yours
truly has stopped following the sport. Kenya rugby is truly a joke and one
wonders what IRB are thinking by leaving Kenya a core IRB 7s member. The only
progress made in Kenya is often due to the efforts of some individual. KRFU wait
until something falls on their lap. Then they exchange it for beer money.
3. Hockey and basketball: Kenya has not played in any major tourney over the
past 10 years because the officials wait until the eve of the tournament then
run outside on Harambee avenue panicking, with a begging bowl in hand, begging
the public for money for air tickets. Wooooi the tournaments starts kesho and we
dont have tickets. Woooi tutafanya nini ? Woooi serikali nakataa saidia sisi. As
a result Kenya has been reduced to useless regional games against kina Zanzibar,
UG & TZ whom they now struggle to beat.
3. Boxing: It died 10 years ago and the burial site has been over-run by weeds
and miraa which the boxers often abuse, hence their suspensions.
4. Cricket: has fallen from its stratospehric heights and is on its death bed
and despite panicky efforts at performing CPR, it will not revive. Too little
too late.
5. Athletics: AK is dominated by KANU style strong man politics and the runners
are voting with their feet and leaving for greener pastures.The last 3 olympics
have been abysmal as Ethiopia are showing Kenya dust.
