    "content": "The elephant in the room is High Court Petition No.08/2021, which we must resolve out of court. Through this application, we have an injunction that stops anybody from purporting to undertake elections or the management of swimming activities. I also assure this House that one of the requests that we have made to World Aquatics is that as we go on with the process of putting together a committee, preparing for elections, and agreeing on a constitution for Aquatic Kenya, we can have an arrangement where our swimmers continue participating in international competitions. There is an important Olympics Qualifier event coming up in February, next year. We have asked World Aquatics not to punish athletes as we deal with these issues. Let us deal with governance issues but also have an arrangement that will allow our swimmers to participate in the Olympics Qualifiers, and in the Olympics."
