In just four days, Kenya will host the biggest sporting bonanza when 3,000 athletes from 131 countries descend on Nairobi for the IAAF World Under 18 championships. This will be the biggest sporting event in the country since the All Africa Games 30 years ago.
It seems that the Local Organising Committee (LOC) led by Mr Mwangi Muthee has pulled it off. The committee has managed to complete the refurbishment of the Kasarani Stadium, spending Sh1.5 billion on the works, as well as putting together a spanking games village at Kenyatta University where the athletes and their managers will be accommodated.
