Kenya's government to support sportsmen and women during the coronavirus lockdown is timely, former defender James Situma has said.
On Wednesday, President Uhuru Kenyatta during his national address promised his government will step up and help the athletes as the country battles Covid-19 and its effects on the population.
“Covid-19 is a world menace and no one expected that we would be in this situation. So, it derailed everything and government coming in is just well and timely,” Situma told Goal on Thursday.
