The purpose of the invite was aimed at enhancing the existing collaborations and partnerships that NOC-K and IOC have built and solidified so far.
Speaking, when he received a delegation from the NOC-K Executive Committee Members, President Bach noted that within a short time, NOC-K had become a model Member of the global sporting body with over 200 Olympic members across the world.
The IOC noted that at the time of the new leadership, Kenya was on the brink of being excluded from membership and support of the IOC owing to failure to uphold the expected tenets of the Olympic Movement, particularly on best governance practices.
He said he was very impressed with the enhanced absorption and reporting system of programmes carried out by the National Olympic body in Kenya in the period in focus plus its very transparent processes.
Meanwhile, NOC-K President shared appreciation to the IOC, particularly the president, for the patience and support during the turnaround exercise. He assured the IOC of NOC-K’s athlete-centered approach in line with the IOC Agenda 2020+5 strategic direction framework.
