We have golf, skydiving and other sports, which can be very instrumental for the country’s and county’s economy if the right investment is made. Does the Ministry have any plans in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife in partnership with the coastal counties?"

"content": " I will try, Hon. Speaker. I will just go on one by one. There was a question on the procurement in Talanta Hela. When I first appeared before this House, I indicated that what had delayed the take-off of that programme was the procurement of certain services, like the provision of the software and the construction of the physical infrastructure. That has been done, and the programme is up and running. I welcome Hon. Members to the Kenya Academy of Sports to look at the hub. It is a beautiful place. The second question was about Kilgoris. I confirm to the Hon. Member that Munge Primary School in Kilgoris is already on our list for the special centres that we are establishing. The Hon. Member can confirm that. It is definitely within our scope. On the question of using athletics or talent as a basis for recruitment. It is a policy that our armed and disciplined forces already apply. In fact, most of our elite athletes operate within the ecosystem of our disciplined forces. This is something that we encourage. I also want to confirm here that it is our policy to encourage academics to go hand in hand with the development of talent, especially completing the basic level of education. It serves our sportsmen and women. The third question is about the elections in Athletics Kenya. This is a matter that has attracted a lot of court action. In fact, it is one of the reasons why the management of elections in Athletics Kenya has been problematic, as is the case with several other federations. This matter is active in court. There was a court order, and the other side ran to court again and got an injunction. It is a bit of a messed space. We are reviewing the Sports Act, and we will be bringing the reviewed Sports Act to this august House. One of the things we are grappling with is how to deal with the litigation and how litigation undermines or interferes with the administration of some of these federations. Some of the leaders and the incumbents actually sponsor litigation so that they can stay in office ad infinitum ."

"content": " If I have the authority of the Hon. Speaker, then I am going to leave this House very emboldened today. On the question of health for players, this is absolutely critical. We have seen unfortunate cases of even losing athletes in the course of training. We are preparing to lay to rest one of our athletes whom we lost in Cameroon while on the track racing, doing the mountain run. The provision of health services, such as first aid services and mobile clinics, is critical. If this House facilitates the Ministry, the Kenya Academy of Sports and Sports Kenya, to provide these services in our academies and our stadia, we would be more than happy to provide that. There is a cabinet memo we are preparing for Cabinet consideration. One of the issues we are addressing very substantively is the issue of health and healthcare for our athletes."

When we visited that Stadium, we found that it was initially the choice of the leadership of Bomet. We were notified that there were discussions on the possibility of picking a different venue. We have asked the leadership of Bomet County to resolve that conversation.
