    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank Sen. Sakaja for this Motion. Coming up with the stadium in Dandora is a noble idea. That stadium will enable the youths in Dandora to engage in sports. Sports are good for physical and mental health. I once saw children from Dandora practice football and it is good for them to have a stadium that will allow them to engage in more sporting activities. Nairobi City County is a cosmopolitan County and many people make a stop in Nairobi as they travel to other places. This stadium will, therefore, benefit many people. The Governor of Kakamega County should ensure that the construction of the stadium is completed. Governor Sonko started a noble project that touches wananchi and I commend him for that. All county governments should endeavor to have stadia in their counties. I have an ongoing tournament in Lugari and it is unfortunate that Lugari does not have a stadium where youths can play. The youths end up borrowing school playfields which means that the students cannot access those facilities when they are using them. All county governments must set aside money in their budgets for building stadia. As they do that, they should ensure that those stadia are accessible to Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). Most architects do not consider the disabled when drawing the plans of those stadia. Disabled people end up having difficulty accessing those stadia. We do ramps in some stadia, but the contractors do not make them friendly. Some of the contractors make slopes, which look like a hill hence people who use crutches cannot use them. In fact, those who have wheelchairs that do not have good brakes end up falling. The people who construct the stadia must consider the disabled. There should also be washrooms for PwDs. People always forget to include them and when included, they should be accessible. Nairobi City County Government should do a noble job when constructing the stadium for other counties to benchmark with them. Governor Oparanya should construct stadia in all the constituencies in Kakamega County for us to nurture talent. I am currently hosting the Musuruve Cup in Lugari and I have a challenge getting a field where the youths can play. There is need to have fully fledged stadia in Lugari for people from Lumakanda, Chevaywa, Matete and other areas to have a place where they can play. When those stadia are available, the locals can prepare a rota of how to use them. Those who are constructing the stadia should also allocate areas for women sports. Women are now engaging in meaningful sports. During the mini league of Musuruve Cup, we had ladies from different wards playing different games and they did"
