team leader so we can plan adequately and prevent wastage
on the next day.

9th July 2017: Shuttle services begin as early as 0900hrs. We
ferry according to team’s demands using data collected on the
previous day. Ferrying to the complex and back continues after
lunch and the last team makes it back to Kenyatta University
at 1900hrs. Teams are yet again satisfi ed with the services,
there are no complains or special requests on this day. We
had two or three security lapses where teams were forced to
leave without security due to unavailability of the offi cers.

10th July 2017: Due to the number of teams present and the
demand for training we scrap custom training times and adopt
a shuttle system where vehicles depart in 30-minute intervals
from Kenyatta University to Kasarani. is exercise Begins
at 0800hrs. Security is available and much more organized.
Security provided 1 chaser vehicle and 20-armed AP guards.
At 1800hrs a group of coaches wanted to go for shopping and
a vehicle was available, however their departure was disal-
lowed as security deemed it late and unsafe.

11th July 2017: The shuttle services are up and running by
0800hrs. Complains from drivers about lack of lunch started
emerging. ey however continue working as per schedule
and we organize a meeting between them and the shuttle

provider and the issue appears resolved. We have a couple of
requests ranging from shopping to collecting goods from DHL.
We facilitate the requests.
EDITORIAL BOARD
It has to be noted that there was an arrangement for drivers
to have meal vouchers and use them to get packed lunch but
instead they chose to use the meal vouchers on tea leaving
them with no vouchers for lunch

Event & Competition

Guided by our event bus schedules (to MISC and back), which
we had placed 24hrs prior to the event date in all the hostels,
the buses started rolling out as per schedule at exactly 0700hrs.
We also put up makeshift boards at the parking bays to help
relay the information, as athletes and coaching staff would
pass by when going to the dining hall for their meals.
