    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I seek a clarification on the Statement by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Sports and Culture, particularly on paragraph 1.2 where he says that the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports proposed Kenya’s bid to host the 2027 AFCON as part of the Talanta Hela flagship initiative, which aims to monetise talents in sports and the creative industry. The Cabinet approved this request on 6th December 2022 as part of the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda. We all know – it is on The Hansard – that on the day the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, Hon. Ababu Namwamba, came here, we sought clarification as to whether the Talanta Hela App that was launched at State House exists. He confirmed that it did not exist at the time neither does it exist now because I have checked. It was under a procurement process which was delayed. You are referring to Talanta Hela initiative which does not exist. We need a clarification on this because falsehood is continuing to be propagated. This might not be accurate if it is coming from the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports. Thank you."
