    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I pick the tone of Hon. Gikaria. I happen to have been a sportsperson. In 1988, I was in the Kenyan national team that went to South Korea. This Petition is good. I agree with a number of things in it including the Paralympics that deal with people who are of that kind of nature. However, when it comes to the bit of schools, it will be very difficult maybe to the Committee that will be looking at this. Sports in schools are managed by the Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association and the Ministry of Education. So, if you go there, you must go through the Ministry. As you look at the Petition, check that you do not delink education from sports because, remember, we are trying to make Physical Education (PE) a compulsory subject. Finally, this is a good Petition that should also be looked at as they consider many other things. What is happening is that the former sportspersons especially the former international ones are suffering. We do train with them sometimes in the morning at Nyayo Stadium and they are languishing in poverty. For instance, people like Mwai and Lichungu of this world are just in abject poverty. So, it is very good for expansion and let us even expand to consider these old guards when it comes to creating a certain fund after they retire. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
