Kasarani in Nairobi was just but one that could have staged the event. Kipchoge Keino (Eldoret), Kinoru (Meru) and Kenyatta Stadium (Machakos) were never going to be ready, half-hearted efforts to build them coming ridiculously late; literally just days before kickoff.
Jot down today’s date; then, even if at a decent construction pace work continued non-stop, you will mark time for the whole of 2018 before you see Kip Keino up and beaming as the modern edifice it is supposed to become … if the artistic impression on the tables is anything to go by.
