The State Department of Sports and Arts has good plans-it wants to use proceeds from Talanta Hela to establish sports academies in all the 47 counties. The move, if actualised, would be a big shot in the arm of Kenyan sports industry.
Talanta Hela, which was started by the government to develop and monetise talent across the country, will rely on stadia. Sports Principal Secretary Jonathan Mueke says after the establishment of sports academies, the ministry will scout for talents and monetise it as a job creation strategy.
