Kericho County Assembly today commissioned a team of players to participate in this year’s County Assemblies Sports Association (CASA) Games in Mombasa County.
The Assembly Speaker, Dominic Rono, flagged off the participants who will represent Kericho in the games that officially kicks-off next week at the Coastal City while expressing optimism that they will emerge victorious.
The Speaker who was flanked by Assembly Majority Leader, Hezron Ngetich, wished success to the team comprising both Members of County Assembly (MCAs) and staff urging them to fly the county flag high in the tournament by garnering most trophies.
The CASA tournament was to be held in June this year but was suspended due to Covid-19.
The County Assemblies, through the Speakers and the Clerks were directed to ensure all MCAs are vaccinated. At least 38 counties are expected to participate.
Registration starts this Friday and all participants are expected to provide the Covid-19 Vaccination Certificate upon arrival for the event that will commence on November 1 and ends on 6 at Mbaraki Sports Club, Shanzu, and Tononoka Social Hall.
This will be the 3rd edition of the competitive Sporting and Cultural Bonanza that will include Football, Volleyball, Netball, Athletics, Board Games, Table Tennis, Badminton, Darts and Tug of War among others.
The County Assemblies Sports Association (CASA) is the body mandated to organize Sports and Cultural activities for the County Assembly Speakers, MCAs, and staff in all the 47 County Assemblies.
