Link: Safaricom will no longer finance corruption in sports!!!

Safaricom will no longer fund Football, Rugby and Athletics because of the thuggery and corruption in the federations.

These thugs even frustrated Safaricom's support for youth football (the main thing ailing Kenyan football) by demanding 20% (of the sponsorship) as chicken!! Safaricom pulled off!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Ooh my .This makes me so angry. There is no sport in Kenya that young Kenyans can earn a living from.I thought rugby union had their house in order.I once watched a short clip on (think it was Injera)in his home and about it was a bit sad coz i thought the guys lived much better. Those guys have talent and someone is busy feeding on their sweat.
Saw something also on Gor about their shidas in Madagaska.
There are people who should be thrown out like the Nyamweya guy,he does nothing he is an Atwoli in football.Look at the gyms in Eastlands, no one is willing to support those guys. Sports if well exploited could create even upto a million jobs.
What remains is only athletics and its there coz the athletes have learnt to hustle on their own otherwise hata Kiplagat has nothing to offer.

If rugby is gone, then no more sports in Kenya.

We shall say , once upon a time there was safari rally ,its gone,then came football,its gone,then came rugby,its gone, then came athletics,(look out story za dopping might be the beginning)

The problem with sports in Kenya is that everytime there sponsorship money available, the officials want to get their grubby hands on it. And they actually feel entitled to it.

Rugby officials have taken their cue from FKF and have flatly refused to be accountable. Rugby used to be a well run sport but the influx of sponsorship has turned it into a den of thieves

Sports like basketball mix corruption with flat out incompetence.


As for FKF, they are shameless. They just steal money openly then ask "Na mta do?". They even insulted the sports minister saying he should not talk because he never attends league matches.

To put it plainly, there are now no good sports officials in Kenya now. Which is a shame because as Kiash said above, the youth unemployment rate is very high (about 60%). A well run sport can put youth to work as referees, physios, scouts, coaches, journalists etc.

The sports act was passed by Parliament in 2013 and is supposed to be used to reign in errant officials but no such thing has happened as the ministry of sports is also just dormant.

Kenyan rugby was well run when? KRU officials have been eating chicken and cutting corners for many years.

You are nitpicking. But perhaps you will happier if I say: "Rugby was well run by Kenyan standards". I initially left the bolded part out because I assume nobody expects Kenya sports to be run like Europeans.

Rugby has been doing relatively well. In the last 6 years:
1. Kenya have been African XV a side champions twice
2. Kenya reached the semis of the 7s world cup twice
3. Rugby had more sponsorships than any other sport.
4. The amount of wrangling and infighting was insignificant when compared to other sports
5. In the last 6 years, Kenya always clobbers arch rivals Uganda in the Elgon cup--> This is the most important point.
6. Rugby actually had a youth setup and a permanent youth sides for both 7s and XV
7. Kenya came very close to qualifying for the XV a side WC
8. Kenya played in the Vodacom cup in 2014 and even won one game.

Those are a few reasons I think rugby has been well run by Kenyan standards over the past 6 years. "Shareman" was actually the best rugby chairman Kenya has had since I started to follow rugby. No other sports federation has such achievements. Athletics does not count because much depends on individual efforts of each athlete.

All that is about to change now. Kenya will soon go back to losing the Elgon cup to Uganda not to mention losing to them at 7s.
