The National Olympic Committee of Kenya seems be not yet out of court battle as the Kenya Rowing and Canoe Association (KRCA) threatens to block the forthcoming election through the court.

The secretary general of KRCA James maingi has voiced their concern of not being recodnised by the Rigistrar of Sports and Nock executive who he says have endosed a splinter group that was voted out in March elections.

Through the letter copied to Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Sports, Culture & Arts, Principal Secretary Peter Kaberia, Kenya National Sports Council (KNSC), Centre for Multi Party Democracy (CMD) and Nock affiliates, Maingi said, “ it was pointless to hold elections if the winners are not recognized.”

Maingi blamed the Sports Registrar and Nock secretary general Francis K. Paul in particular, for recognizing a group that was blacklisted and voted out during KRCA last elections.

The Sports Registrar Rose Wasike when reached said, “we are not aligned to any sports discipline, adding that their work is to regulate and remain fair in her decision.

Nock secretary general, FK Paul, however, told Mweu to stop misleading the public since his team did not conduct official elections. “ Mweu’s group held their own private elections that were not sanctioned and we did not endorse them. I advised him to liaise with the other group and come up with credible elections and from there, we can work on the way forward,” added Paul

Mweu accused Nock of frustrating them and undermining their existence. “Nock have continued to work with the black-listed members and even recommended them to the International federations thereby undermining the elected officials. Our rankings have gone down since we have been denied a chance to participate in International and Olympic qualifiers event from 2011 up to date,” observed Mweu.

The association spokesman has vowed to go to court and stop the forthcoming Nock elections until their nagging issues are addressed.
