He said KICOSCA games have been instrumental for the county governments to network and share ideas for an enhanced relationship. On his part, his Deputy John Mathara noted that sports are not meant for leisure alone but also as a tool to transform lives and a driver for transformation in society.<\/p>\n

He added that there are a host of benefits in participating in games and exercise as they also contribute much towards body health. The leaders at the same time wished good luck to the Nyandarua team, affirming their support throughout the games. The county will be competing in 14 disciplines with the Nyandarua county football team expected to face Kisumu county in the opening match.<\/p>\n
