The fate of Kenya hosting the Cup of Africa Nations for Amputee Football hangs in a balance after government withdrew its financial support.The continental tournament which was scheduled to kick off from November 22 was pushed to December 5 to 10 this year. Kenya Amputee Football Federation captain Dalmas Otieno says the team is demoralized as they are no longer certain if the tournament will materialize or not. The game is scheduled to take place at Kasarani Sports ground and already 6 African teams have confirmed attendance. KENAFF treasurer Charity Kamau says if Kenya fails to host the event, it will be a national embarrassment.
