    "content": "sports-end up taking their revenue. Many of the sponsors are not Kenyans; they are foreigners. To avoid such a situation in future, it is important that both the national and county governments take sports seriously. The allocations given to the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Sports and Arts over the years is minimal because we have not taken sports seriously. I am happy that in the Kenya Kwanza Government Manifesto; sports is key. I call upon my colleague; Cabinet Secretary (CS), Sports, Culture and Heritage, Hon. Namwamba, who is a young man, to demonstrate this and ensure he leads from the front. Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Namwamba needs to ensure that training centers in areas like Iten, Talai in Baringo County and Ossen, are funded to have the facilities necessary to train our young people. Most of the buildings in Eldoret and Kabarnet today are owned by our sportsmen and women. Mr. Tergat from Baringo County has done a lot of investment in Kabarnet Town. Some of the sports men and women from Elgeyo- Marakwet County have done serious investments in Eldoret town. It is not just a question of sports and this country being recognized. Sports is critical in wealth creation. I support and request that both national and county governments take sports seriously because it is a way of empowering our people. I thank you."
