Use NOCK polls to start process of weeding out rotten apples

After months of resistance, the national Olympic governing body has finally adapted a reformist constitution  paving the way for internal changes within this organisation. The National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK) has been dogged by claims of corruption and malfeasance and little has been done to clean the rot despite a public outcry.

With a little nudging from the International Olympic Committee, NOCK’s President Kipchoge Keino has finally bowed to pressure and the organisation will now hold elections on May 5. With the introduction of new constitutional clauses to even the playing field during the polls, delegates must vote out the bad apples within NOCK and usher in an era of reforms.
