KSh 300,000 for Regional Games: Is County Support Enough for Kakamega's Champions?
Kakamega Governor Dr. Fernandes Barasa today officially flagged off national football champions Green Commandos of Kakamega High School and St. Martha's Mwitoti Girls Volleyball Team for the FEASSSA Games in Morogoro, Tanzania.
During the send-off ceremony, the county executive handed over KSh 300,000 to assist with logistical requirements during the regional tournament. The administration reiterated its commitment to expanding sports infrastructure and supporting talent across the county.
While the financial gesture was welcomed by the technical teams, sports stakeholders on the ground note that local schools and grassroot talent continue to face severe funding shortages, inadequate training facilities, and delayed sponsorships during local qualifiers.
Questions on the ground:
Is KSh 300,000 sufficient for two complete teams competing in an international tournament, or is it a photo opportunity?
When will the county government establish a permanent, well-funded Sports Development Fund for sub-county talent in areas like Likuyani and Shinyalu?
Likuyani Digest will track how sports allocations are managed and distributed.
Stay informed. Stay ahead.
