"content": "I am very happy that this particular Statement is being sought. I am personally very passionate about sports and sporting facilities especially here in the city where we have a lot of talents. So, I will be looking forward to this Statement. It continues to break my heart that we do not take sports seriously. We even have an ongoing problem which I have spoken to on this Floor. There is absolutely no support for the national teams. Just this morning, I was informed that the women rugby national team is supposed to be going for the Dubai Sevens. However, they are unable to even afford tickets. There is no support from the Government and no word from the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Sports, Culture and Heritage and yet we had the Sports Fund that was supposed to sort out some of these issues. I would encourage this Committee to give this matter the seriousness it deserves. Once we know the status of all these academies; the sports funds and the facilities in the counties and especially in Nairobi, we can then take it from there. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
