They blamed the newly appointed Cs for sports culture and arts Rashid Achesa for failing to honor football legends with that world cup trophy tour.
The ministry of sports in their defense say that the tour was sponsored by a private company Coca cola company and did not have a hand on who would accompany the trophy.
Bloggers like Cyprian Nyakundi and Robert Alai said that this was more of a coca cola company road show rather than an actual world cup trophy tour.
