Confusion and disappointed marked the cancellation and further switch of the first Athletics Kenya track and field weekend meeting earlier slated for February 26 and 27. The event was initially set for Bondo University, then Maseno University before late reports indicated that the meeting will now be held in Nairobi. A communique from AK read: “Due to unavoidable circumstances, the first Athletics Kenya Track and Field Weekend Meet that was to be held at Bondo University, Nyanza North will now take place in Nairobi.”“The one-day meet will be held at The Nyayo National Stadium, Nairobi on February 27. Other teams/regions who were expected to send strong delegations include Kenya Defence Forces and the National Police Service. AK Nyanza North chairman Joseph Ochieng said Maseno University were apprehensive about hosting the competition without permission from the Ministry of Education.
