Kenya disband Olympic body

Kenya has disbanded its National Olympics Committee (NOC-K) because of the poor handling of its team during the Rio Olympics, sports minister Hassan Wario said yesterday. Wario has set up a committee to investigate the misconduct and it will report its findings by September 30. “There was alleged mismanagement of the facilitation of our athletes and the entire team Kenya. I disband the (NOC-K) with immediate effect and transfer their responsibilities to the Sports Kenya as the interim custodian.” Despite the problems, Kenya enjoyed its most successful Olympics, winning six gold medals, six silvers and one bronze, all in track and field.
