Speaking to Citizen Digital, Mutai said that every stakeholder involved in the organization delivered on their part, hence the success of the event.

“The event was very successful because it was well coordinated by all the stakeholders who were involved. The government played a huge role. Kwale County gave a lot of support, and all the sponsors on board make it a success,” said Mutai.

Mutai also highlighted the NOC-K vision for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, saying they aim to make sure that many disciplines are included in the traveling squad to increase the chances of Kenya harvesting many medals.

“As Team New Dawn, we want to make sure that in the next Olympic Games, we want to harvest as many gold medals as possible. That is why we are empowering all the federations under NOCK to be ready for 2028.

He thanked the government for supporting many international events in the country, saying that it increases sports tourism, hence improving the economy of the country.

“The more sports events we host, the more we develop sports tourism, like last weekend we had cycling, BAL, and many more that we are looking forward to, which will help develop the economy of our country,” stated the executive member
