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.
