Ambrose Kisoi, the KBF assistant secretary revealed that the pandemic, which struck the country in March last year, was a major blow for the basketball fraternity. “We were happy that the men’s team had some activities but, overall, the suspension of our leagues disoriented the basketball fraternity,” he disclosed. “The elections were also postponed and so the desire for the stakeholders to renew the mandate of the office bearers was also a big miss. Besides, many members lost jobs and means of livelihood.”But all in all, he said, everyone was happy that people took care of themselves and there were no serious incidents to report about. “We have seen that bringing home diaspora players can improve our standings in Africa but documentation of the players should be given the seriousness it deserves.”
