The National Olympic Committee – Kenya

The National Olympic Committee – Kenya (IOC code: KEN) is the National Olympic Committee representing Kenya. It was created in 1955 and recognised by the IOC that same year. Kenya made its debut at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia.

The current President of the National Olympic Committee – Kenya is distance running legend Paul Tergat since 2017, taking over from another distance running legend Kipchoge Keino who had been in charge since 1999.

The National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK) has launched commissions that will undertake different duties from next year through to 2024, when the next Olympic Games are staged in Paris, France.

The Commissions are working groups operating to ensure the policies and strategies set by the executive board are achieved.

The Commissions’ launch was presided by the Second Deputy President Waithaka Kioni, who read out NOC-K President Dr. Paul Tergat’s speech.

“In order to accomplish this ambitious dream, the Executive and the Secretariat require the input and collaboration from other stakeholders beyond our walls. We want to tap and exploit the incredible knowledge and experiences from citizens of this country who want to make a difference in our sports and the Olympic Movement, for that matter that is why you were all precisely chosen”
