Korir, who visited the team in camp yesterday to deliver the ministry’s message and calm them down, said the allowances had been approved but lack of bank accounts was the stumbling block. He, however, urged the ministry to wire the money directly to the athletes in cash form. “There is a problem when it comes to the U-18 since they don’t have bank accounts but they can be paid through their parents or directly. “Let them come and pay them here directly and let them sign as most of them do not have accounts. “The ministry told me the money had been approved but could only be paid via the bank,” he added.
