ATHLETICS Kipchoge's powerful speech of acceptance after conferment with honorary degree
Eliud Kipchoge made a moving speech after being conferred with an honorary degree during the 41st graduation ceremony of the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.
"Back then, we had retired athletes who had not led decent lives after their exit from the sport. Most have encountered challenges and had difficulties addressing their problems.
"However, having this scheme will be very helpful since athletes, both retired and active, will have a backup plan. This is a good path to take because athletes will be guided on the safest ways to invest their funds,” Were said.
Meanwhile, the initiative comprises an endowment fund for veterans and a pension scheme. The endowment fund will cater to the needs of retired athletes who are mired in deplorable living conditions.
