The comments come as German Chancellor Angela Merkel told an election rally on Sunday that Germany may no longer be able rely on the United States and Britain and added that the EU "must now fight for its own future."


Disagreement within the German coalition government on how to deal with the U.S president is also mounting.

NAIROBI， Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- Top officials in the Kenyan Ministry of Sports， Culture and the Arts (Mosca) are facing charges and possible jail time for allegedly embezzling over 870，000 U.S. dollars meant for tickets for the country's team to the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics.


This is more than triple the amount said to have been misappropriated by senior National Olympics Committee-Kenya (Nock) official and Team Kenya Head of Mission， Stephen arap Soi who is facing five charges related to the theft of over 254，000 dollars set aside for the team.


The fresh allegations are contained in a yet to be released Rio 2016 Probe Committee report that was obtained by local media on Friday that is also calling for Nock to account to the over 1.2 million dollars they have been receiving annually from American sports giants Nike on behalf of Kenyan teams to the Olympics.


The probe team appointed by Sports Cabinet Secretary， Dr. Hassan Wario when he disbanded Nock in the immediate aftermath of Rio 2016 when the scandal shocked a nation with the minister receiving the report on Oct. 28.


Wario has since forwarded it to the country's President， Uhuru Kenyatta who is in the process of making it public and announce what action will be taken against those who are found guilty of misusing funds meant for the team.


"Action to be taken against those culpable in the misappropriation of 870，000 dollars at Mosca and also Nock to account for the 1.26 million dollars per year they receive from Nike on behalf of the athletes，" part of the report in our possession recommends.


Officials in the ministry resorted to withholding payment of members of the Probe Committee in a bid to compel them to divulge the contents of the report fearing they are adversely mentioned.


"When we presented the report to Wario on Oct. 28， the minister ordered accounting officers to pay us but they have since declined because these officials suspect they are being accused in the report，" the Probe Committee chairman， Paul Ochieng said.


"They want to get hold of it to doctor it or line up some form of defence but they should instead seek its contents from the appointing authority who is Wario，" Ochieng added.


His committee spent 37 days working in Nairobi and Eldoret in a bid to get to the bottom of the scandal.


Another report by the Parliamentary Select Committee for Labour and Social Services chaired by Matuga Member of Parliament， Matuga Member of Parliament， is yet to release its report to the same scandal having summoned Nock and ministry bureaucrats led by the CS. Enditem
