Njaa mbaya: Kenyan athletes steal hotel duvets and towels in Congo

[msemakweli]

Kenyan athletes stole the limelight for the wrong reasons at the just ended 11th All-Africa Games in Brazzaville, Congo, with reports that some athletes stole hotel duvets and towels and damaged property at the Safaricom Stadium, reported the Nairobian.

Gordon Oluoch, a senior official with the Kenyan team received a formal complaint from the hotel's management in Congo and said: "I have received reports that several Kenyans have left with duvets and towels from the games' village in Brazzaville. The manager of our block is compiling the list of the rooms affected and the people who were listed under those rooms".

"The Kenyan government is under obligation to pay for the things that are stolen. That is why I will remain behind after everybody has left here. It is unfortunate that our people are stealing things that they can afford, and that are available in Nairobi even in second hand shops. Some people who finished their business here chose to take with them Congolese property. It is a shame."

Kenyan athletes performed well at the games but the off-field shenanigans of the errant athletes puts a blemish on the team's achievements.

Ab-Titchaz, how dare u! Dont u have some respect for our heroes mkuu? It is wrong to call our great champions ''poor thieves'' and to describe their act of taking souvenirs from that hotel ''stealing''. The hotel management are known to be too mean to allow their visitors do that, even if they were wishing to pay for them.

You cant be that disrespectful to our heroes like that. All well meaning Kenyans should repudiate your above impertinent comment.


Now, sema ''pole''.
