Basketball in Africa

Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF) chairman, Agina Wesonga, was due to jet out of the country on Wednesday to Burkina Faso to attend the Fiba-Africa Congress.

Agina said there will be issues affecting Kenya for discussion during the two-day meeting, including the participation of two Kenyan teams, KCB Lions and Kenya Ports Authority, in the Africa championships.

"Besides elections, Fiba-Africa will discuss the future of the both the national and club championships.

It will be a lively debate as it will chart the way forward for financially handicaped teams," he said.

In a similar development, KBF first vice-chairman, Henry Shihemi, will also travel to Japan later in the month for the two-day Fiba World Congress. It was not clear whether

former KBF chairman, Maurice Aluanga would contest a continental seat.
