President Paul Kagame has challenged athletes to report sports administrators who mistreat them while they are representing the country.
Kagame was addressing more than 2,000 youths from different parts of the country during the 10-year anniversary of YouthConnekt at the Intare Conference Arena, Rusororo.
For instance, he said,"you take 20 athletes to a competition in Europe. They are young athletes who are willing and capable. They would be even more capable if they got the resources meant for them." He urged athletes who experience such maltreatment to speak out so that the responsible officials can be held accountable.
