The new 47 county governments are already taking shape as governors form their administration teams, in the form of executive committee members and other office bearers. Kenyans are expectant and hope the new county leadership will deliver excellence in all sectors including sports.
Indeed, sports offer low-hanging fruit for any county government to pull their young people from hopelessness, despair and want. By engaging the youth constructively in say athletics, football, volleyball, basketball, rugby and such disciplines, they could turn around the fortunes of millions of youth.
