    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, it is important to build the Dandora Stadium, but we should also build stadia across the nation. Football or any kind of sport is very important because it is an exercise to the body and mind. We have many young people and even mature people who are depressed. When you are engaged in any kind of sports, you are also exercising your body and mind. It is also a way of socializing. Madam Deputy Speaker, many people have hanged or poisoned themselves and died because they do not have people with whom to share their problems and issues with. When you are in a social place and you have issues, people will notice and you can share. You will also be able to open up to people and this will help. We must have a way of nurturing the talents of our young people because not everyone is gifted academically. If you are not gifted in learning, then you can make it in life through sports either in football, athletics and other games. Madam Deputy Speaker, I want to talk about a stadium in Kinyui in Machakos County, Matungulu Sub-County. Construction of this stadium begun in 2017. To date, this is a stalled project. It has not been completed. It is not the only one. We have many places where our young people can go and do sporting activities, but those projects have stalled. I request that money be set aside to complete those projects, especially by the governors who are going home and are supposed to ensure these projects are completed. I emphasize that they must complete all the stalled projects so that incoming governors will not have challenges using money for other development activities to complete the stalled projects. I support this Motion and thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker."
