The prosecution accuses Mr Soi of abuse of office. It says he added names in the list of Team Kenya and improperly conferred benefits to the lawyer and athletes Kiprono Kosgey, Nicholas Koech, Hillary Kemboi and Thomas Longosiwa.
Mr Soi said authorising payment of allowances to eight athletes who never travelled to Brazil was not irregular.
Payments made by the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (Nock) to eight athletes who did not take part in the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were legitimate, the Anti-Corruption Court in Nairobi was told Wednesday.
The court also heard that Nock’s Sh4.7 million budget to facilitate the air travel of journalists was valid since the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation had no capacity to provide media coverage.
