"content": "100 metres champion, Ferdinand Omanyala, who failed to travel to Oregon in time to participate in the World Athletics Championship because of visa challenges. Pursuant to the Kenyan Citizenship and Immigration Act, No.12 of 2011, the Cabinet Secretary is empowered, where he considers necessary, to authorise the issuance of a diplomatic passport to a person who does not fall in any of the categories that are set out in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Sports and Culture on the following: (a) Could the Chairperson explain the status of the undertaking by the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Youth and Sports on November 2022 regarding support of athletes by issuance of diplomatic passports? (b) Could the Chairperson state when the Ministry will issue diplomatic passports to the athletes? (c) Could the Chairperson explain the plans the Government has put in place to facilitate acquisition of visas by athletes? Thank you."
