During this year’s Beyond Zero campaign marathon, President Uhuru Kenyatta promised that no national team will lack funding when taking part in international tournaments. However, hardly two months since making the promise, the reality on the ground is totally different. Just two weeks ago, the softball national team was denied funding to travel to South Africa for an Olympic qualifier.
