Athletics legend Paul Tergat has heaped praise on a biography chronicling the contribution of the Karim family even as he faulted a culture of tokenism when appreciating the country's sports heroes and heroines.
The biography, The Karims — A Sporting Dynasty, by former Kenya captain Aasif Karim was launched on Wednesday at a colourful ceremony in Nairobi and attended by sporting luminaries.
The book details the Karims' achievements in sports in Kenya, a tale Tergat said should wake up the country to celebrate its sports men and women.
