President Uhuru Kenyatta will this week
receive the Rio report on the chaotic
preparation and management of the
Kenyan Olympics team.
The 90-page report alleges Sh80
million was pocketed by organisers,
sports kits stolen and joyriders included
in the trip, despite this country producing
its most successful team in the Olympics
ever.
“I know there has been some
expectation around this report, but it
wasn’t handed over to the President
this week,” State House spokesperson
Manoah Esipisu said yesterday without
giving reasons for the failure.
“We look
forward to it being made available this
week, so necessary actions can be taken
and we put this episode behind us.”
The investigations were ordered in
August by Sports CS Hassan Wario,
following allegations of corruption at the
National Olympic Committee of Kenya.
