Dreams to host World under 20 will become live after President Uhuru Kenyatta officially opened the 2020 World Athletic Under-20 Championships secretariat at Kasarani.
The president was received at the secretariat by the Cabinet Secretary for Sports, Amina Mohamed, the 2020 World Under-20 Local Organising Committee (LOC) chairman, Jack Tuwei and the event’s chief executive officer, Mike Rabar.
Also in attendance was Federation of Automobile Association (FIA) president, Jean Todt and Sports Principal Secretary, Joe Okudo.
Rabar said the offices will provide an environment to support the ongoing preparations for the event that has so far attracted 128 countries.
“The President was happy about the progress made and wants all government offices for special projects to use the World Under-20 offices for benchmarking,” said Rabar adding that the secretariat has been renovated for posterity considering that the venue has been earmarked to host major events.
