    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I am just using that example. The English Premier League is about the money. The chase is there and they are making money from all angles even to wear a T-shirt. That is why companies such as Etihad are fighting to sponsor. We used to have SportPesa before the former regime. I happen to have been the Chairperson of the committee that investigated the issue of betting. We agreed that you could bet without getting addicted. In villages, you find young boys who are stealing eggs to sell then use the money to bet. That is why the industry of sports is so huge and lucrative. I can bet that many millions of shillings in pounds go to London. We watch DSTV and pay for subscription to watch teams such as Arsenal and Chelsea. For the information of the House, I am a fan of Arsenal and you saw how we are thrashing the people. We are on top of the table, not the local table that our colleagues are talking about. The Kenya Premier League, the English, Premier League, the Champions leagues and even in the Middle East where the likes of Michael Olunga are playing, Dubai and the Far East are now moving towards sports business. That is why the owners of the famous football clubs are now leaving to go and do oil business, like the owner of Chelsea Football Club who was from Russia. He was an oil mogul."
