Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Presidential aspirant Herbert Mwachiro has welcomed the KSh14 billion allocated to sports in the next financial year.
The increment is twice the funds allocated to the same department in the last budget. The Confederation of African Football (Caf) Committee Member states the monies allocated to sports prove the Government's position in supporting local talent.
"The 2020/21 budget released by the Minister for Finance [Ukur Yatani]... sends a very strong signal on the Government of Kenya's commitment to supporting local talent, a sector that has in recent weeks experienced insurmountable challenges as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic," Mwachiro said in a signed statement obtained by Goal.
