Plans are underway to rebrand KECOSO to suit all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) besides entrenching a culture of a healthy workforce that embraces sports.
The Cabinet Secretary invited government employees to voluntarily take-up sporting terming it as a remedy for the woes that are attached to the proverbial work with no play makes Jack a dull boy.
The CS hinted on revamping and rebranding KECOSO to have a broad outlook as the National Government annual sporting event from the current membership of three Ministries to the rest including their departments and agencies (MDAs)
Since establishment, KECOSO has attracted membership from various Ministries including Ministry of Roads and Transport, Ministry of Information Communications and the Digital Economy, Ministry of Maritime affairs with negotiations on-going to onboard more ministries within the National Government.
