“He is conversant with the workings of IOC and has been involved in the Strategy Planning of several National Olympic Committees,” said Mutuku, adding that the first phase of the plan is stakeholder identification and invitation to participate is currently on course.
Mutuku explained that the stakeholders will complete questionnaires provided by the consultant and have one-on-one interviews in the next four weeks.
