ow that it is all systems go for the IAAF
World U18 Championships, allow me to
Nwelcome the global athletics fraternity to
our beautiful county and capital city.

and other stakeholders, our beautiful city and
KYEB
great nation are ready to host the youth of the
world for the next six days of competition and

Kenyans are very hospitable people and Nairobi,
being the microcosm of the nation’s society, is
the right place to be in the coming days.
I urge the delegations to exercise care at all
times, Nairobi being a cosmopolitan place with
people of diff erent interests and behaviour. In the
same vein, I urge delegations to visit our tourist
sites in and around the city and to explore the
fl ora and fauna of our great nation.
Make a date to return here in the future to relax
and enjoy our world class tourism at the Coast, in
the world’s eighth wonder of Maasai Mara, or on
KENYA YEARBO0K

sites along the Lake region.

welcome the entire delegations to Nairobi County

stay and successful participation in the 10th IAAF
