Separately, Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i says proper procedures should be followed to avoid the embarrassment witnessed when the ministry ordered for the repatriation of reigning national women’s volleyball champions Kenya Prisons from Cairo, Egypt.
Matiang’i was quick to note that all departments should be involved before a team leaves the country for proper planning.
He revealed that no action will be taken against the former African queens and they should now start focusing on upcoming events.
Meanwhile, Kenya Prisons men’s volleyball team is expected to leave the country Friday evening ahead of the Africa club championship set to serve off on 1st -10th of next month in Cairo.
The side will represent Kenya alongside perennial nemesis GSU who left the country Wednesday evening.
Powerhouse Al Ahly are the reigning African champions after humbling compatriots El Guish in an all-Egyptian final last year in Cairo.
