    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you can see the shortfalls that were occasioned by the county governments, Sports Kenya and the contractors. The Committee recommends that the Auditor-General should undertake a value for money audit with a view of accessing the status of the projects vis-à-vis the amount incurred on the projects in order to ascertain whether there is value for money. The State Department for Sports should expedite the timely completion of these projects by ensuring that the projects are funded adequately. Indeed, the Department should not initiate any new project until it delivers on the ongoing projects. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Committee further recommends the termination of the contracts of the private consultants who were found to lack the requisite skills to competently supervise the projects and instead engage with the State Department of Public Works for the supervision of the remaining aspects of the project. In addition, the Committee recommends that any public officer found to have violated the Public Procurement and Assets Disposal Act 2015 and the Public Finance Management Act 2012 should be prosecuted in accordance with the relevant laws. In conclusion, I thank my Committee. This enquiry began late last year. To crisscross the country inspecting those stadia was not an easy task. However, it is sad to note that the Presidential Big Four Agenda on stadia and youth employment, in terms of sports, was not observed. It is the wish of this Committee that in every constituency we have an academy of sports. Going by the rate at which contractors are failing to fulfill their mandate, we cannot achieve it. With those few remarks, I move this Motion and call upon Hon. Kubai Iringo to Second."
