NOCK President Maluki marks one year in office with renewed commitment
The National Olympics Committee of Kenya (NOCK) President Shadrack Maluki yesterday marked the completion of one year at the helm with renewed energy and commitment to the development of sports and the Olympic movement in Kenya.
Maluki, who swept to the helm of NOCK during the July 21st, 2025 NOCK elections, marked his first year in office with pride defined by purpose, commitment, and a clear vision for the future of Kenyan sport under his leadership.
Over the past twelve months, President Maluki has worked tirelessly to strengthen sports governance, build meaningful partnerships, champion athletes' welfare, and position Kenya for greater success on the global stage. It is his leadership that has inspired confidence that Kenya's sporting future is in capable hands.
The National Olympic Committee of Kenya, entrusted Maluki alongside his team in the NOCK Executive Committee, with the responsibility of leading our Olympic movement into a new era.
Maluki leads an association which has been tasked with spreading the rise of sports in the country with vigor and a renewed energy, commitment and resolve even as Team Kenya stands well prepared for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, carrying not only the Kenyan flag but also the hopes and aspirations of millions back home.
Beyond Glasgow, the journey continues with Kenya firmly setting eyes on the ultimate destination, the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, where NOCK under Maluki believes that Kenya will once again make history.
