Former Sports CS Ababu Namwamba has listed some of his achievements during his tenure as he believes sports is in a better place than when he found it.
Former Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba believes he changed the fortunes of Kenyan sports during his near two-year tenure.
Namwamba, like all other Cabinet Secretaries, was sent packing following President William Ruto’s decision to sack his entire Cabinet last week amid protests from Kenyans over his leadership and government.
The former Budalangi MP, however, has no ill feelings towards his dismissal as he feels it is within the rights of the Head of State but leaves with his head held high as he thinks Kenyan sports is in a better place than when he found it in October 2022.
