    "content": " That entity, Hon. Deputy Speaker, is the Senate that is pretending to have a mandate that does not belong to it. Matters sports are defined at Article 17 of the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution, and those matters reside in this House. The Senate has been pretending to be inquiring into matters sports and they have been holding many meetings there. The Senate has got no iota of authority to deal with matters sports in this country. The Constitution is clear. The Constitution allows this House to do budgeting. This House allows the Cabinet Secretary for Sports to have a budget. Under that Ministry, there are federations that benefit from that budget. If one shilling of that budget goes to a federation, then this House has the legal mandate to audit that federation. If FKF has received one shilling from the Ministry of Sports, then FKF must answer to this House. It must be ready to be faced with an inquiry through the Ministry of Sports, and the CS, answering to this House and no other House. That is why I am just advising the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Sports that the mandate to deal with these issues belongs to the committee of sports of this House and they should move with speed to summon FKF and all other people concerned so that we can get to the bottom of this. If taxpayers’ money has been misused by FKF or any other federation, then they must be held accountable. Nobody is going to ‘eat’ people’s money in this country under our watch. They must be held responsible. Whatever circles they want to go into, they will not be allowed. The Chairman, Committee on Sports, it is your duty to do that."
