The parliamentary Rio 2016 Olympics Games Probe Committee has this Wednesday summoned Citizen TV sports reporter-cum-anchor to help in unraveling what might have transpired in the Rio 2016 Olympics in which Kenyan athletes were mistreated.
Kenyan athletes led by former Boston Olympics gold medalist Wesley Korir and javelin maestro Julius Yego bitterly complained over the manner in which the team was mistreated by the officials.
Korir blew the whistle on the Nike sports kits in which he maintains each athlete was given a pair of kits as opposed to over 50 kits as agreed by the sports kit manufacturer.
Yego on his part,lambasted the National Olympics Committee Of Kenya officials over payment of flight tickets.
This prompted Waihiga Mwaura to expose the rot at the NOCK.Surprisingly,Waihigas name featured so well among those whose tickets were catered for by the Olympics Committee yet,his employer Royal Media Services paid for all his expenses.
It is for this expose that award winning journalist for himself in the middle of the probe.
A letter seen by the BK, asked Mwaura to appear before the committee at 10am on Thursday.
“In pursuit of our terms of reference, and in recognition of your official and professional role at the Rio Olympics, we kindly request you to appear before the committee to help shed light on various issues pertaining to Kenya’s participation at the Rio Games as we seek to make solid recommendations on Kenya’s improved participation at the Olympics and other major international assignments.
“We value your contribution to Kenyan sport and would like to have a brief session with you on Thursday, 22nd September 2016, at 10.00am,” reads the letter.
