By PHILIP ONYANGOMore by this AuthorI was shell-shocked when for the first time Kenya Ports Authority men’s and women’s basketball teams lacked sponsorship to represent the country in international sports. The women’s team missed the Africa Club Championships in Cairo, Egypt, while the men nearly missed participation in the lucrative Basketball Africa League in Rwanda. I think institutional clubs, and KPA in particular, need a permanent solution to the financial crisis. That is the reason why the government and corporates should ensure that existing teams are well supported. It is important to note that KPA has been sponsoring Bandari and other sports disciplines among them basketball and volleyball as a corporate social investment agenda.
