Its new look facility was officially opened on April 13. While the ground was good for training purpose, hosting a certified championship became the challenge hence the adjustments.
The Kenya Police track and field championships that were scheduled to be held at Ulinzi Sports Complex today and tomorrow have been cancelled.
Sports, Arts and Social Development Fund (Sports Fund) chief executive officer Nuh Mohammed Ibrahim wasn’t happy during the launch of the sixth edition of the Absa Kip Keino Classic on Tuesday.
Ibrahim said that no stadium will be constructed or renovated in the country without consulting the experts so as to avoid wastage of public funds on facilities that will later be dismantled because they were substandard.
