Secondary school Principals have been warned against fielding non students during the ongoing Term Two Ball Championship.
Nyanza Regional Director of Education Lawrence Karuntimi said the Ministry of Education is against the practice because it denies the upcoming talented students the opportunity to nurture their talents for their personal growth and development.
“Information reaching our offices indicate that some dishonest teachers are fielding non-secondary school players and this violate our rules governing the sporting activities in the Ministry,” he said.
In a letter directed to all Sub County Directors and Principals in the region, Kiruntimi alerted them to be aware of those notorious games teachers and team captains who break the law and take action on them.
Migori County started their Championship on June 13 at Mabera Girls’ and Kubweye Mixed Secondary. Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) Migori Secretary George Kichana said schools have pooled for the games.
In football for girls pool A consists of Kiogo from Kuria East, Sori of Nyatike West and Kerwa from Suna West Sub-county.

This is according to Kisii KSSSA Secretary Geoffrey Nyantika who said that the venue was shifted from Nyachogochogo Secondary School in Nyamache Sub-county because of poor conditions caused by the ongoing rain.
“The school is located in a swampy place and our logistics team found it unsuitable to host the county championship there,” he said.
