Every five years, Kenyan voters troop to the ballot box to overhaul leadership right from the grassroots to the top. The President sits at the apex and drives the nation. The buck stops at his doorstep. On August 9, 2022, over 14 million Kenyans voted for their next President.

The President, after his inauguration, will therefore set the pace for the country. Among his in-tray will be Kenya's sports sector. Always brimming with huge potential, the sector needs an urgent overhaul. For years, Kenyan sports has remained at a crossroads and on the periphery.
