    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, as much as sporting activities are devolved, county governments do not allocate adequate resources in order for them to engage many youth as possible. Not only the youth, but they can also engage even members of staff in various sporting activities in their stadiums. I support this thought and hope that Hon. Kananu, the current Governor of Nairobi City County will do her best to complete what Hon. Sonko started in this great county. I also urge governors to ensure there are stadia in their different constituencies. Stadia are very important in our country for the wellbeing of the mind and physical of our people. Sporting activities are source of income to many people. Sportsmen earn their money through sporting activities. Our youth cannot always earn their money by working in offices or engaged in white collar jobs. They must not be in an office donning a suit and a tie to earn money. They can be in sports jerseys and genuinely earn money. We must look for ways of creating jobs and engaging them in the counties. Madam Deputy Speaker, Sen. Kasanga recently tabled the Mental Health Bill. One of the causes of mental health issues is stress. Some of the youth go through a lot of stress and they end up mentally breaking down. As I said, sporting is one of the ways that make us relax our minds. I, therefore, support Sen. Sakaja and hope that this report will see the light at the end of the tunnel."
