It is unfortunate, but we have to say this: The livelihood of millions of Kenyan youth seeing sports as a route to a better future has been auctioned to the highest bidder.

The biggest losers are the aspiring sports men and women still wasting their talents away in obscurity. What a sad state of affairs? Do we really have to be this callous?
