Donald Kipkorir believes Kenyan athletes undervalue themselves following Ferdinand Omanyala’s travel snafu.
Donald Kipkorir, a city lawyer, claims Kenyan athletes undervalue themselves despite being world champions.
The flamboyant High Court advocate who runs KTK Advocates was perplexed as to why the athletes were ‘humble’ despite earning a lot of money on the track.
“Kenyan athletes are extremely cheap. Ferdinand Omanyala, Africa’s fastest runner, always wears “Nike” clothing but travels on a budget. Nike-sponsored athletes from the United States, Jamaica, and the European Union travel in private jets or first class. Nike will not support Kenyan athletes unless they value themselves “He tweeted.
Kipkorir’s concerns stemmed from Omanyala’s inability to travel to the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Oregon, United States. Omanyala claimed that after visiting State House on Tuesday, July 12, he was confident that all plans were in place, but that his documents were flawed.
