Local Organizing Committee for the 2020 IAAF World Under-20 Championships is still waiting for funds from the government to roll out the event’s preparations.

The LOC had earlier expressed concern with the slow pace the ministry is taking to release the initial Sh60 million to set up the secretariat.
