Of course he did it for the whole of Uganda but his main motivation is always Kapchorwa and the Sebei people. If you have problem with it, write to him directly. Edit: Also, his tribe was historically oppressed by the surrounding tribes and is still extremely poor till today so he recognized the need of attention and support, the athletes are bringing improvement to the region and the standard of life of the locals through sports.
