FROM HON.
TREASURER
Athletics Kenya programme of
activities in 2008 is quite heavy in
terms of financing. It will
definitely cost well over the usual
yearly figure of
Ksh. 80 million.
Besides our local programmes,
this is the year of the
World Cross
Country in Edinburgh,
the
African Senior
championships in
Addis-Ababa Ethiopia,
the
World Junior
Championships
in
Bydgoszcz,
the
Beijing Olympics
in China,
etcetera We are however
not scared of the heavy undertakings
given the never-failing sponsorship
support of
IAAF, NIKE,
New KCC,
KCB,
Standard
Chartered Bank
and
East African Breweries
Nock
and
Ministry of Youth Affairs for
which we are very grateful. We
manage the funds availed to us
prudently; besides, our affiliates
and athletes do not exert
unnecessarily undue pressure on us
in terms of financing. We therefore
hope to have yet another very
successful year.
