This year's national secondary schools' games kick off on Tuesday to Saturday in Eldoret. This will be a sigh of relief to the sporting industry, especially coming full-scale after the 2020 disruptions by Covid-19.

The competitions will no doubt resuscitate talents in our schools lost during the pandemic. And there is no better way to stir up the talent than through school games. It clearly sets the pace for a sporting nation.
