The plight of former athlete Daniel Kipchirchir Komen, who had his hard-earned money wiped out in unclear circumstances, is only the tip of the rhinoceros' horn. Komen reportedly lost Sh21 million in a business deal with a lawyer he says was his confidant.
Although the case is before court, the bottom line is that today, the former Kenyan athlete has nothing to show for his sweat and the pain he endured earning his fortune, let alone sacrificing time when he would have been with his family, to bring honour to Kenya.
