It’s all systems go this afternoon as Base Yetu makes a return to the home of champions, Eldoret, to watch more champions compete and fete the best in Pool game.
Dozens of players anc funs are expected to jam Foxy’s Wagon Wheel Hotel where the pool game showdown will be taking place.
This comes days after a similar funfilled exercise took place last weekend.
Base Yetu Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Nick Mararo said, to make it more exiting, cash prizes to be won has been increased.
Last Saturday, while addressing players and funs as he presented prizes to winners, Mararo called on the government to consider investing in the Pool game as it has been doing in other sporting activities.
Mararo who BASE Yetu organization has been engaging youths interested in the game want the government to consider and support it saying it is no longer a betting game as it used to be.
“Pool is a sport. Our main agenda is to bring Pool from being a gaming entity to a sport,” he said.
He said by the government investing in Pool which has millions of funs across the country, it will help the young people get an income through tournaments.
“Base Yetu hopes to keep the youth productively engaged and completely detached from social ills such as drug abuse and crime,” Mararo noted.
Last weekend’s winner was Dennis Sang who took home a cash prize of Sh30,000.
Today’s winner is expected to get Sh60, 000, a double of what was won last Saturday.
Pool game is by the day becoming popular among people of all ages, but is mostly loved by the youth.
Base Yetu has in the recent past organized such interactive tournaments in various parts of the country.
Youths support Mararo’s call for the government to invest in the game saying it another way of actively and positively engaging the young people most of whom are jobless.
