    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. As you have stated as Chairperson of this Committee, I take note of the Statement that has been requested, the sentiments of the Senators and the urgency of this issue. Indeed, I must commit that my Committee takes this matter very seriously. Just this past week we have been touring some of our stadia. We were in Bomet and we also went to Kericho Green Stadium. We looked at what is happening and we are really concerned about all the federations. Without being prejudicial as to the action we will take, I want to state that from a policy point of view, audits are welcome everywhere. However, they should not be used as a tool for anything else. All federations must be audited when the resources come from the national Government. Madam Deputy Speaker, what we commit to do, and I would urge you to give us the strength of your Chair, is that we will immediately send out a letter so that action is taken. Any action that can be taken to stop this ban is welcome because that action cannot be taken by a CS or a Principal Secretary. We will invite the CS urgently to appear before our Committee on Thursday. I know they will ask for seven days. However, with your direction, they can come on Thursday, that between now and then they need to put brakes on whatever action they want to take. We will be very objective. We have the law. We know what the Sports Act says. We also know what the FIFA states and soccer regulations which I understand very well because I have been the patron FC Leopards for many years. We also have challenges, but despite that, I think my Committee is competent enough to handle this matter as soon as possible."
