It’s another moment for Kenyans to steal headlines on the global sports scene – the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, on July 23 to August 8.
Sports enthusiasts including senior government officials are about to script congratulatory messages to our athletes when they win medals. Social media will be awash with hearty messages.
It’s no news since that has always been the norm. We appreciate and love our sportsmen and women. Ironically, no one cares to know or even inquire on how these athletes train for these competitions.

Burundi President Evariste Ndayishimiye

According to sources within the government, President Ndayishimiye might be the only foreign Head of State to grace the ceremony, which will be held in Kisumu County.
East African Community (EAC) recently named President Ndayishimiye as rapporteur while President Kenyatta was chosen as the community’s chairperson.
In June 2020, President Kenyatta congratulated Ndayishimiye on his election as President and pledged to work with him, saying Burundi was Kenya’s valued development partner.
