President Uhuru Kenyatta has assured that the Anti-doping Bill 2016 will be passed on time to beat the deadline set by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
The President said the Government has given the Bill priority, adding that he is personally following it up with the leadership in the National Assembly until it is passed.
“By next week latest, the Anti-Doing Bill will have been passed by Parliament and I will have signed it into law so that there will be no excuse to deny our team from participation in the Rio Olympics in August,” President Kenyatta said.
The Head of State spoke today when he hosted the Paris Marathon and the World Half Marathon teams for breakfast at State House, Nairobi.
“We know there are people who are looking for excuses to ensure that Kenya does not participate in the Olympics.
