The government is working on enforcing the Sports Act which will see all clubs and training camps licensed by the Ministry of Sports.
The Ministry has kicked off inspection of athletics training camps, providing registration forms to clubs, camps, professional athletes, and coaches.
The camp owners are required to pay a fee to the Government upon submitting the filled forms, which they will return to the Ministry.
As seen by The Kenya Times, the forms are from the Sports Registrar, with no specific timeframe of submission.
In addition to filling in the forms, the applicants will also be required to provide the constitution of the club or camp, strategic plan, updated list of officials and members, copies of logos, and emblems, compliance, and certificates for VAT, PIN, NSSF and NHIF.

The applicant should also prove to be of good standing in line with Chapter Six of the Constitution by providing clearance certificates from KRA, EACC, HELB, Certificate of Good Conduct, and CRB.
“It is a serious offence to unlawfully give false information on this form,” the document warns the applicants.
Athletics Kenya had previously told training camps to provide registration certificates by March 15th, 2023.
The Ministry, however, told coaches who had acquired the certificate from the department of social services that the document is not recognized by the Sports Act.
