Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 42A (6B), I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Sports and the Arts the following Questions: Could the Cabinet Secretary explain: 1. The role of the Ministry in facilitating the Kenya Team that attended the Special Olympics held in Berlin, Germany in June 2023 on the following issues: (a) How and why Kenya’s team to the Special Olympic Games jetted out of the country without neither the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Sports and the Arts nor a representative from the Ministry flagging them off? (b) How and why the Cabinet Secretary did not deem it reasonable to receive and celebrate the team for their monumental performance during their arrival into the country from the Games? (c) What measures is the Ministry putting in place to ensure the anomaly of ill- treating athletes does not recur again? 2. On management of Aquatic Sports in the Country, could he: (a) Explain why Kenya Aquatics has historically been unable to comply with rules and decisions of World Aquatics including holding of elections even after a Stabilisation Committee was established on the 28th June 2022? (b) Enumerate efforts that the Ministry has put in place to ensure that Kenya Aquatics Stabilisation Committee conducts elections and state when the elections will be conducted so that World Aquatics can lift the suspension of Kenya Aquatics since 2022 from participating in any activities within World Aquatics? (c) Give an undertaking that the Ministry will facilitate Kenyan swimmers to participate in the World Aquatics event scheduled for February 2024 in Doha, Qatar, and in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France?
