Office –Uasin Gishu County Woman Representative Gladys Boss Shollei has accused Sports Cabinet Secretary of failing to live upto the task.
Shollei, Deputy Speaker in the National Assembly, while on DaysBreak on Citizen Tv on Tuesday August 22, claimed that the recently launched Talanta Hela App is nonexistent, anywhere.
Her sentiments coming just days after Majority Leader in the National Assembly Kimani Ichung’wah also called for his censure over the state of Kenyan athletes and overall sports in the country.
Sholloei described the Sports Ministry as an office being run down by the current CS unless changes are quickly made.
A crosscheck by the media also confirmed that the Talanta App is neither on the Play Store nor App Store for downloading.
As if that is not enough, the former registrar at the judiciary added to complain that the Ababu Namwamba-led ministry has been giving some teams knockoff uniforms to use during their international games.
“The other day when our team went to Tunisia for the beach games, they were wearing fake sports uniforms, knockoffs from River Road. If you look at the team that went to Trinidad and Tobago they were also wearing fake uniforms. It just asks you by the time a country reaches a point where our athletes are wearing fake uniforms there is really something wrong,” she claimed.
She also seized the opportunity to accuse the CS of neglecting athletes by leaving them in the hands of rogue managers who exploit them both sexually and by doping.
The Uasin Gishu politician promised to take-on the CS when he will be showing up for grilling in the House chambers.
