According to The Independent (URN), the Kiprotich High Altitude Training Centre in Teryet Ward, Kapchorwa Municipality, has been renamed Teryet High Altitude Training Centre. The chairperson of the centre's Board of Governors said the Ministry of Education and Sports and the National Council of Sports made the decision after some athletes complained; Olympic champion Stephen Kiprotich said he was not consulted, and a former district chairperson said the district council passed no resolution on it.
Disputed: The Board chairperson says the ministry and National Council of Sports decided the renaming, while the article reports allegations that it was done without their consent, and Kiprotich and a former district chairperson say they were not consulted or notified.
