The troubles and death of one of our heroes have raised a red flag on the manner in which retired sportsmen and women are being handled. There are many retired sportsmen and women that wish they received even a little recognition from the government and Kenyans alike. In Europe, when retired sportsmen and women step into the public eye, they are recognised and given the respect they deserve. If we are to avert more of our heroes living miserable lives, the government needs to lead the way as we follow. It should take charge and first instill the culture of recognising the heroes and design a plan to make their lives better after retirement.
