Lack of finance has forced Morans, the national men’s basketball team to leave the training camp ahead of Window 3 of the FIBA African World Cup qualifiers.
Today, the team under the Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF) decamped to their homes after a memo from the Ministry of Sports, through the State Department of Sports that due to budgetary constraints, they are not in a position to facilitate international events after exhausting allocations.
Morans have been training daily at Nyayo National Stadium gymnasium under assistant coach Sadat Gaya ahead of the July 1-3 games in Alexandria, Egypt.
Kenya, who trail 0-3 from the February window 2 qualifiers in Dakar, Senegal face a herculean task if they are to sail through. They are programmed to face off against DR Congo in their Group D opener before taking on Senegal and the host. They must not lose if they are to progress.
