"This is something that President Uhuru Kenyatta and I had lobbied for edging out South Africa and the USA to get to host this leg in the ten-round Continental Cup. We are getting ready and we don't want to lose this opportunity to showcase Kenyan athletes and the people," Amina said.

The third World Athletics inspection team will be in Nairobi on Tuesday led by the executive director of communications Jackie Brocke-Doyle to review the organizational progress. They will be in the country for two days. Enditem
