Morans, the Kenya national basketball team has finally hit the training camp ahead of the Fiba Afro-Basket qualifiers set for Dakar from November 27 to 30.
This comes after the government had allowed them to train ahead of the biennially show.
However, the team must comply with the Covid-19 guidelines from the Ministry of Health after PS Joe Okudo’s letter to the federation, stressing that all other basketball activities run by KBF remain suspended until further notice.
Okudo also allowed the national basketball team to use the Nyayo National Stadium Gymnasium for training purposes.
Basketball, classified as a contact sport by the Ministry of Sports, remained suspended when Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed allowed non-contact sports to resume in phases on October 18
Amina announced that all outdoor recreational non-contact sporting activities, private fitness clubs and other sporting clubs would reopen immediately. Consequently, athletics, lawn tennis, weightlifting, badminton, cricket cycling, equestrian sports, golf, motorsport, fencing, shooting and squash activities were allowed to resume.
