Abstract
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.
