The BBC reported on Thursday that Kenya must now prove to WADA that it is dealing with the issue or it could face being declared non-compliant, which might lead to a ban from competition.
Russia was suspended from world athletics in November following allegations of widespread and state-sponsored doping in a report by WADA.
"The biggest threat is the declaration of non-compliance and the possible consequences of that," Christine Wambui Mugera, head of the regional anti-doping organisation in east Africa, told the BBC.
"The International Olympic Committee and other major event organisers, international federations, have the capacity to refuse entry for athletes from a country that has been declared non-compliant.
"But we have to wait to see how this plays out. The Kenyan government is working very hard to beat the timelines of WADA."
Kenya has established a national anti-doping agency, NADA, but it is not yet operational.
