PRESIDENT Mwai Kibaki yesterday directed the Sports ministry to investigate the dismal performance of Team Kenya at the recently concluded Olympics Games in London. He said that the poor results were a concern to Kenyans and needed to be addressed. Kibaki was handing the Kenyan flag to the motocross team that will compete in the 2012 continental championship in Kampala this weekend. Motocross is the sport of racing motorcycles on off-road circuits.
Kenya's only gold medals in London were won by Ezekiel Kemboi in the 3,000m steeplechase and David Rudisha in the 800 metres. Kenya won six golds at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Speaking at State House Nairobi, President Kibaki said that it was wrong for sports officials to take Kenya's sports success for granted.
