    "content": "Hon. KK, thank you for your statement about Bukhungu. I confirm that all the drama in film and music festivals for which we had a concert in Nakuru today with his Excellency the President, and the ball games, were fully funded by the Ministry to the tune of Ksh267 million. We have worked very closely with the Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association and the Kenya Primary Schools Sports Association. That whole programme is part of our rolling out the Talanta Hela initiative. As I have already said, the back end of the Talanta Hela system is being sorted out. As soon as that is sorted out, its livestreaming can start away. Hon. Abubakar Ahmed, we are aware of the issue raised on swimmers who went to Japan. I also want to make it clear here that the regulations of the Sports, Arts and Social Development Fund only allow the Ministry to provide support through federations or associations. It is the body that brings a request. The challenge we continue to have with swimming is because of this challenge with the federation. As soon as we sort this out and agree with the World Aquatics that the committee we put in place can take responsibility of swimmers, then it should be possible to offer some support to our swimmers both for the qualifiers and for the Olympics. Participation in the Olympics is dependent on qualification."
