Paul Kibii Tergat, the new National Olympic Committee of Kenya president, has called on the sports fraternity to give him time as he prepares to redeem the organisation's image.

Tergat, the two-time Olympic silver medallist, said he is focused on guiding Kenya’s umbrella organisation to success, “but we need time to put ourselves on course.”
