Former Kenya national rugby 7s captain Collins Injera has revisited the unfulfilled promises made to the team following their historic victory at the 2016 HSBC Singapore 7s.
In a post on his Instagram account, the 40-year-old rugby legend revealed that the 12-member squad and coaching staff were promised brand-new Toyota Prado 4×4 vehicles, each with a fully paid five-year insurance cover, by then President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Injera also reflected on the Ksh100,000 pledge made to the team by then Nairobi City Senator Mike Mbuvi Sonko, questioning how much wealth they could have accumulated had the promised amount been invested and earned interest over the past decade.
Ten years on, the Singapore triumph remains a landmark moment in Kenyan rugby, but so do the promises that the players say remain unfulfilled.
