The glory of the Kenyan team at
Rio, Brazil, during the just concluded Olympic Games was overshadowed by corruption, National Assembly Labour and Social Welfare Committee chairman David Were has said.
Were, who led MPs to Rio,
said a good team was selected in Eldoret in July, but
problems that arose in Rio were due to confusion from NOCK.
He accused the National Olympics
Committee of composing a team of joyriders.
Were blamed NOCK assistant
treasurer and chief de mission Stephen Soi of playing a one-man show at the
Olympics.
“This man controlled everything
and where he was absent, nothing could take place. That was the beginning of
the problems for Team Kenya. He ran the show and other officials cowered at the
mention of his name,” Were said.
