President Ruto, a man who knows from experience the hard work and resilience of the Kenyan athletes has made a promise to support the sportsmen and women with a 3 month residential training camp in preparation of the 2024 France Olympics. This will give the team the space for meticulous, intense and quality training that they require to retain and restore Kenya’s global standing as sports powerhouse.

In June this year, the President also promised a 5 Million reward to any athlete who breaks international records. Encouraging athletes all over the country to train and work harder not only for the country’s glory and standing but also promising the reward and celebrate their efforts is an important form of supporting these very hardworking Kenyans.

The President has also vowed to facilitate the proper management for football in Kenya. Speaking at State House when he welcomed the prestigious English Premier League trophy to the country, the President has celebrated Kenyan footballers such as Victor Wanyama and Divock Origi who have both been the pride of this country in the English Premier League. The President acknowledged that the league is a dream of many Kenyans, that the country has the potential to exploit these talents to such levels which can greatly change lives and communities.

The Kenya Kwanza government is in the process of building and rehabilitating various stadiums across the country. Giving young Kenyans the spaces to exploit and grow their talents is a step closer to reaching heights such as Olympic golds and playing in leagues such as the EPL.

The CBC curriculum has also seen the restoration of physical education as full subject which will allow the development of these sporting talents.

Kenya has always been the home of sporting talents and the President is keen to see that his government supports athletes by building the infrastructure they require, rewarding and celebrating the winners to encourage more Kenyans to sports, creating spaces such as the 3 month residential training camp and much more.
