Kenya made its presence felt at the EAC Inter-Parliamentary Games' disability darts competition, with Hon. George Mbugua securing a podium finish and the dynamic duo of Hon. Tim Wanyonyi and Hon. Janet Sitienei delivering a masterclass in the team event at Aga Khan Academy.
Despite Tanzania's Hon. Yahya Ally Mwata's clean sweep in the individual standing category, winning all five matches, the Kenyan contingent proved they are a force to reckon with.
In the individual standings, Uganda's Hon. Mumali Mpindi claimed second place with four victories, while Kenya's Mbugua showed tremendous skill to secure third position with three wins.
The home team's greatest moment came in the team doubles, where the strategic pairing of sitting player, Hon. Wanyonyi and his standing colleague Hon. Janet Sitienei dominated Rwanda's Hon. Mussolini Eugene and Hon. Alex Bahati with a convincing 2-0 victory.
Tanzania maintained their strong showing as Hon. Yahaya Massare and Hon. Yahya Mwata edged past Uganda's pair of Hon. Mumali Mpindi and Hon. Balimwezo Nsubuga in a tight 2-1 contest.
The discipline which was first introduced in the ongoing games specifically designed for parliamentarians with disabilities, highlighted the EAC's commitment to inclusive sports.
All eyes are now on tomorrow's team doubles finals, where the distinguished legislators will again showcase their sporting prowess and competitive spirit.
