DELIBERATELY BROKEN !
This fence was a replacement for an older one and was erected all round the Stadium site in 2001. A plastic tube full of concrete and with the chain running through the cap (also plastic full of concrete) could be loosened (accidentally) by a group of children sitting on it and swinging (as children will !) For drivers wishing to re-establish their "Rights", flattening posts was a matter of a few minutes deliberate vandalism. So the caps came off and the chain fell down !
ONE OF THE VANDALS !
A saloon car with hardware supplies hanging out of its window is driven round the first bend TODAY ! And we are supposed to prepare athletes for major Championships on that ! It gives some idea of the priorities of some I-Kiribati people !
AN UP-GRADE IS PLANNED !
When the Sports Office at the relevant Ministry is challenged on the matters of fence and track, we are informed that "an up-grade of the track and replacement of the fence are parts of a plan yet to be submitted" ! And we have invited Nauru and Marshall Islands to use this ! We hope to get something done in the next three months !
THEN SEE PART 3 !
