Review of management issues and challenges in Kenya's sports as a basis for future development

Abstract

The history of Kenya's sports can be divided into three main phases; the pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial phases. Each of these phases witnessed various levels and forms of sports development in the country. With the increasing popularity of SPOltS over the years, deliberate efforts and strategies have continued to be made to improve SPOltS participation and performance. Whereas some milestones have been realized towards this end over the years, the sports scene is still faced with a myriad of issues and challenges which militate against the desired aim of achieving sports excellence in the country. This paper therefore, highlights the management shortcomings and problems that should be addressed so as to serve as a basis for future development of sports in the country.
