More details on individuals who travelled for the 2016 Rio Olympics without having any association with Team Kenya or being officials have been disclosed.

Official documents now reveal that the delegation consisted of several joyriders from the Ministry of Sports, National Olympic of Kenya (NOCK) and even relatives of the mentioned executives.

The joyriders are said to have been airlifted on the government's budget and their accommodation paid for outside the Olympic Village since they did not have accreditation.

The sports ministry is said to have taken the bulk of joyriders with four coming from Cabin Secretary Hassan Wario's office.

Surprisingly, Mr Martin Keino and Mr Francis Kinyili who are reported to be the  children of two Olympic committee officials are also on the list of shame. Worse still, in the delegation to Rio were individuals who were neither athletes nor officials of the government or NOCK.

The huge delegation which included numerous joyriders reportedly spent the bulk of Sh228 million, majority of which was used for air tickets and accommodation for the excess group. Things got so bad, in fact, that three officials from NOCK were arrested upon their return to Kenya on corruption charges, while an independent investigation has been launched into the committee’s mismanagement of the event.

It has also come to light that during the games, each of those who were in the delegation were paid Sh1 Million in allowances.

The new details emerged even as pressure mounts for the CS to take personal responsibility for the mismanagement of the team that consequently embarrassed the country.
