Kenya: Heavy cost of joyriders in 'Club' trip for Commonwealth games

Half of Kenya's Sh55million Commonwealth games budget will be spent on allowances for officials, The Standard has revealed. The country is sending one of the largest delegations to the 'Club' Games in Melbourne, Australia, with officials making up a third of the 160-strong team. The full list of the travelling party to the Games obtained by The Standard on Sunday paints a picture of extravagance and contradictions. All but two of the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (Nock) officials are travelling.
