The Kenya Paralympics group has vowed to hold a major protest on Monday if the government does not pay them their allowances.
The group that represented Kenya in Morocco last week blocked Thika Superhighway in their push to have the Ministry of Sports pay them their allowances as promised.
The paralimpians leader Kennedy Ndungi says the Ministry has only given them Ksh. 7,000 out of the Ksh. 100,000 they are each demanding from the government.
Ndungi further accused sports PS Peter Kaberia of refusing to meet them and only sending his juniors to address the situation.
The Monday protests will include among other teams, the basketball team, the softball team and the Kenya National Kabadi team.
Member of Parliament representing people with disability Denittah Ghatti slammed the ministry of sports for failing to give the paralympians their allowances after the Morocco games vowing to push for the budget cuts in the ministry of sports if the matter will not be addressed.
“We are going to engage the sports committee in parliament to reduce the budget for the ministry of sports.” Ghatti said.
The paralympians who participated in the qualifying games for the 2020 World Paralympic Games in Morocco blocked a section of the Thika Superhighway for the better part of Thursday morning.
Kennedy Dungi, Kenya National Paralympics Committee Secretary General, reportedly said Sports PS Peter Kaberia promised to pay their allowances once they land in Nairobi.
Dungi further accused the Ministry of Sports Officials have been playing cat and mouse game with them over the payment of their allowances since Tuesday.
