He called on Kenyans to join Base Yetu by dialling *693# and enjoy free gate pass during the tournament.
Base Yetu has been sponsoring various tournaments across the country which has made the game, earlier associated with several vices to become a darling to many Kenyans.
Base Yetu which has been promoting talents and vision for the young people across the country has been calling for inclusion of Pool Game in learning institutions’ sporting activities.
Mararo says the move will help the students not only in critical thinking but also exploring various talents amongst the youth.
He has also been agitating for the funding of the game just like the way government does to other sporting events like football, athletics, volleyball among others.
In the past before the tournaments start, Inspector Mwala has been leading other artists and entertainers in sensitising residents of host towns on the need to embrace Pool game as a sporting activity like they do to football, volleyball, darts, netball and athletics among other games.
Pool game is by the day becoming popular among people of all ages, but is mostly loved by the youth.
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.
