Sports Principal Secretary Elijah Mwangi has said his ministry is working to streamline operations of sports federations to ensure accountability and transparency.
The federations, he noted, are entrusted to support sporting activities at grassroots but regretted that some funds channelled through the federations are misappropriated.
Speaking during a public participation forum on the proposed Sports Act and Policy that brought together stakeholders from Murang'a, Nyeri and Kirinyaga counties, the PS outlined the government's commitment to funding local sports development and called for strict accountability among those managing the funds.
Mwangi noted that the government is actively channelling funds to community-based sports groups to support the organization of tournaments and the purchase of essential playing equipment.
