    "content": " I have really been trying since morning. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. First, allow me to appreciate that the Cabinet Secretary was appointed as a youthful and intelligent young man who must deliver and champion the youth, sports and everything that is under his docket. From the discussion, since I listened to the introduction by the Leader of the Majority Party, a lot of issues have been alluded to. Hon. Kajwang’ mentioned that there are some disorders which need to be put in order. I put a lot of emphasis on the wrath the Leader of the Majority Party directed at the Cabinet Secretary. That, in my view, was not fair because that was not the purpose as to why he was called here. Secondly, there was also a mention of reckless talks. I was disappointed, as a professional teacher, to hear a Member of Parliament talk about not caring about what is on social media when students are seated in the galleries. It is very unfortunate for elected leaders to talk that way and that must be corrected. Three, from the discussions, the Cabinet Secretary has to Table the records and reports on the framework of his work in terms of procurement and activities taking place within and outside the country, and align them to the budget allocated to the Ministry. That is so that issues can be verified. The Hon. Deputy Speaker gave out photos of Adidas and Nike kits. I do not know what else. We cannot verify that. I remember one time when Hon. Otiende Amollo tabled signed documents in this House, they were disapproved. The Speaker said that the documents were not admissible for lack of authenticity. So, even the Adidas photos are not authentic until the Departmental Committee in charge of sports summons the Cabinet Secretary to appear before them. One thing I am talented in is psychology. I want to say that the discussion I am seeing here is tailored towards crucifixion. Even Jesus was accused for claiming to be God. I think we are leaders and we are mature. I now want to ask my question."
