Published on August 13, 2019, the Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF) has pushed back reports of poor working conditions within the national women team.
The team, led by captain Hilda Indasi, has expressed concerns over delay in payment of allowances, with each player receiving only Sh10,000 so far for the assignment.
However, KBF chairman Paul Otula appeared to shift the blame to the team's coach Ronnie Owino, stating that he should have instilled 'common sense' in the players.
"The coach should have pre-empted and instilled common sense in the players," said Otula.
"We have so far paid for the return air tickets for the contingent of 14, paid participation and accommodation fees, and given each player an advance allowance of $100, just like the men," Otula added.
The team has lost in their opening two matches at the Afro Basket championship in Senegal and are scheduled to play Angola on Wednesday.
