"JUSTICE FOR REBECCA CHEPTEGEI": KENYA VOWS TO HOLD PERPETRATOR ACCOUNTABLE FOR REBECCA'S TRAGIC DEATH
Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Sports, Kipchumba Murkomen, expressed deep sadness over Cheptegei’s loss. In a statement, he condemned the rising cases of gender-based violence and emphasized the need to combat it within elite sporting circles. Murkomen vowed that the Kenyan government would carry out a thorough investigation to hold the perpetrator accountable. He called the attack “a cowardly and senseless act that has led to the loss of a great athlete” and promised justice for Cheptegei and her grieving family. Uganda’s Minister of State for Education and Sports, Peter Ogwang, confirmed that the government is closely monitoring the investigation conducted by Kenyan authorities. Ogwang stressed the importance of delivering justice for Cheptegei, describing her death as a tragic blow to Uganda’s athletics community. Additionally, Ugandan Parliament Speaker Anita Among called for a thorough investigation, condemning the brutal act of violence. She urged that the perpetrator be brought to justice, emphasizing that such barbaric acts have no place in society. Cheptegei’s passing is the latest in a disturbing series of attacks on female athletes in Kenya. It echoes similar high-profile cases, including the murder of Kenyan athlete Agnes Tirop in 2021. As the sports community mourns Cheptegei’s loss, there is a collective call for action against gender-based violence and a renewed commitment to protect athletes from harm. Rebecca Cheptegei’s legacy as a celebrated figure in Ugandan athletics will endure, but her untimely death serves as a stark reminder that we must continue fighting for justice and safety for all, both on and off the track.
