The event was presided over by the County Chief Officer for Youth and Sports, Nason Kangalya, who declared the four-day tournament open and reaffirmed the county government’s commitment to nurturing talent among learners.
During the ceremony, Mr. Kangalya presented trophy awards sponsored by the Kenya Inter-Counties Sports and Cultural Association (KICOSCA). The trophies will be awarded to the top-performing teams at the conclusion of the games.
He noted that the county has invested in improving the quality of officiating by training teachers as referees to ensure professionalism and fairness throughout the competition.
