Sports Principle Secretary Elijah Mwangi is now in the cross hairs of MPs over what they term as the “sabotage” of the construction of Sh2 billion academies across 37 constituencies.

The National Assembly’s Sports committee yesterday criticised Mwangi’s decision to securitise Sh6 billion for the construction of select stadiums across the country at the expense of sports academies and other “more viable” projects.
