How can they not have participated yet these people worked with coaches hired by Athletics Kenya, trained in government facilities, their air tickets was paid using GOK money. Most of them are cops, soldiers, prison warders who are on GOK payroll....does it have to be your way or the highway?
Why are you so sensitive to criticism? Are you in the jubilee govt?
1. The current government did not hire them as cops or prison warders as you claim. Most of them held these jobs before the current govt came to power.
2.
Travel is covered by either IAAF or the local organizing committee3. Government does not pay coaches as you are trying to claim
Why don't you tell us what the politicians who went to the airport to jump on the bandwagon actually did.
In any case I am not directing my criticism at Jubilee specifically. This has been the behaviour of Kenyan politicians for as long as I have known.
You have Ruto now grabbing primary school land. If you grab football fields, where will the next generation of footballers come from? Grabbing fields is detrimental to Kenya's sporting prospects yet this is the same Ruto who is quick to run to the airport to take credit.
This has been the behaviour of Kenyan politicians for decades. They disregard or even take detrimental actions, then they hop on the bandwagon to reap where they did not sow.
