As Kenyan contingent leaves for inaugural Africa Paralympics qualifier in Morocco, Laisikwa, Competing in T37, Laisikwa has blamed the organizing committee for throwing him out of the team seven times consecutively without giving him any explanation. I called the Chairperson Agnes Oluoch who did not receive my calls,” said Laisikwa, requesting that Paralympics selections should be transparent. In 2017, I was ejected from the camp ahead of London games,” explained Laisikwa. On that day, we mixed athletes and some may cry foul play yet it is not the case. Some, who seems to qualify were well analyzed by coaches to see how they can perform hence facing them out,” explained Oluoch.
