The care and maintainance of sport and recreation equipment and facilities in Kenya
(2001) Kiganjo, George M.
The purpose of this paper is outlining the proper management principles underlying the care and recreation equipment and facilities and the need to ensure continuous well- maintained equipment and facilities in Kenya. The key guiding them is whether Kenyans of African origin have a maintenance culture. The practice of caring, maintaining and repairing for the sport and recreation equipment and facilities is critically examined against the universally recognised management principles. The current state and status of sport and recreation equipment and facilities in public institutions in Kenya is used as an example to emphasize the need to re-engineer and adopt different but relevant approaches to caring and maintaining the available sport and recreation equipment and facilities. The role of sports and recreation equipment and facilities is discussed in the paper. The factors involved in the creation of the current debilitating state of sport and recreation equipment and facilities are also examined and several suggestions have been put forward to remedy this sad state of affairs. These include governance, availability of funds, efficient and effective personnel and adherence to care manuals and schedules, improvisation among many others.
