Netizens flocked the post to commend Ababu for taking time off to visit Leonard while others strongly called upon him to keep his promises of nurturing the youth and elevating the sporting world in Kenya reminding the CS that rural areas had as much talent and potential as urban areas.   BY MPASHO NEWS
