Meru set to host inter-county games

Mr Ang'awa said after a successful event in Kisumu they were looking forward to Meru staging a show to match or better it.

"Kicosca brings counties staff together to actually unwind from their tedious work they undertake back in their counties. It also gives them an opportunity to showcase their skills," he said.

He said such events have seen some of the county staff participate and play national teams in various sports in the past.

"They want to display their skills for the younger staff to appreciate and potentially take up," Ang'awa said, pointing to famed former Kenyan striker Peter Dawo, a Kisumu staffer, as an example.

He added, "Kicosca helps in bringing national cohesion and unity. When we all interact as staff, regardless of our religious and political and working as a team, we foster unity".

Ang'awa said these days when one moves around Kenya they will find Luos or people from Coast wearing Maasai attire or people from Meru eating fish vey happily and expertly, yet some people thought fish is for Luos only or shuka's for the Maasai's.

He said several counties had shown interest to host the games but after a rigorous exercise, Meru was picked to host this year's edition.
