The recently constituted Sports Tribunal is still working on rules of procedure to start hearing cases filed by aggrieved parties even as it emerged that Athletics Kenya (AK) parties are yet to agree on which tribunal to hear their case.

The tribunal chair, John Ohaga, said they are not objecting to parties exhausting arbitration processes at the federations’ level “so that we can play an appellate role.”
