First to be arrested yesterday was Nock secretary general, Francis K Paul who was detained at Nairobi’s Muthaiga Police Station with officers pouncing on Chef-de-Mission, Stephen arap Soi and his deputy, James Chacha, upon arrival from Brazil at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport where they were whisked away to become the guests of the State alongside their colleague.
Further reports yet to be confirmed indicate a raid was conducted at the national Olympics body’s offices in Nairobi that were locked after the organisation was disbanded on Thursday and the homes of the officials implicated where a huge chunk of the Nike official team kit was discovered and confiscated.
How now? Would the acronym NOCK ,not suggest its sole mission is to recruit, organize and manage kenya’s Olympic team among others? As such, they bear the biggest burden!
Word has it that a “cartel” at the ministry had members take “associates and family” as maybe team doctor, physician, psychologist and such in place of the actual competent professionals. Hapo kati kati ni juu ya ile hundi nono serikali ilikuwa iwape wale jamaa pale NOCK.
It explains why Wario refused to show the list containing the 177 names of those who went there to the media. All he kept saying about it,is that everyone on that list had a ‘role’ to play at the Olympics. I’m glad the same media is roasting him for the mess.
Hio uwizi ya Atheletes gear has always being the norm. I remember as a young kid a good friend of mine’s dad was a senior NOCK employee. I remember seeing this kid and his siblings wearing some dope nikey tracksuit jackets(though zilikuwa oversize for them bt baggy things were the fashion those days so it was good to go). They had nikey labels in the front na mgongoni imeandikwa KENYA. Sikumbuki ilikuwa olympics gani lakini …but if my memory serves me right ilikuwa 1996 olympics
Well I hope that isn’t the case. My view is based on the fact that he was eager to accuse others, while withholding crucial details that might help in exposing the real culprit. He should have made the list public watu wajitetee kivyao.
the skunk is in NOCK and the sports associations…and i can tell you this for free - a lot of envelopes change hands between the associations’ supremos and sports journalists. they must be in overdrive…
