It has been reported that the Cabinet Secretary for Sports, Ababu Namwambia, has been traveling abroad with his girlfriend, Azziad Nasenya, while our athletes suffer.
This is a shocking and concerning development. The Ministry of Sports is supposed to be supporting our athletes, not neglecting them.
Namwambia has been accused of mismanaging the sports ministry and using public funds for personal expenses.
He has also been accused of awarding contracts to his friends and family without following proper procedures.
The Member of Parliament for Nandi Hills, Alfred Keter, has called for Namwambia to be summoned to parliament to answer questions about these allegations. Keter has also called for an investigation into the matter.
The Kenyan public is outraged by these allegations. Many people are calling for Namwambia to resign.
Others are calling for the government to take action to ensure that our athletes are properly supported.
This is a serious matter that needs to be investigated thoroughly. Our athletes deserve better. They deserve to have a government that supports them and helps them to achieve their dreams.
Here are some of the reactions from Kenyans on social media:
“This is a disgrace! Our athletes are working hard to represent Kenya on the world stage, and they deserve better than this. The ministry of sports needs to be held accountable.”
“I’m so angry. This is just another example of how our government is corrupt and doesn’t care about its people. Our athletes are our heroes, and they deserve our support.”
“This is a sad day for Kenya. I’m ashamed of our government for treating our athletes this way.”
