A guilty verdict handed to former Sports Cabinet Secretary Hassan Wario by a Magistrate Court on Wednesday could have a significant impact on the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOC-K) election slated for later this year.
Wario and Stephen Soi were found guilty of abuse of office in graft charges relating to the 2016 Olympic Games.
