Pull out all stops to ensure NOCK conducts its elections urgently

Every effort must be made to dispense with a case in the High Court stopping the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK) from holding elections. As long as the case drags on, some NOCK activities will be curtailed. Already, the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the global body that superintends over all national Olympic committees, has said it will continue withholding funds from NOCK until elections are held.

The IOC seems to hold the view that the court case is a ruse by some individuals to deliberately block NOCK from the exercise. That matter cannot be addressed at this point because it would introduce judicial arguments about the merits or demerits of the court case.
