    "content": " On the issue raised by Hon. Wanjala, the fact that Kisumu is a city does not qualify the stadium to meet the CAF standards. As it were, the Jomo Kenyatta Stadium is a property of the county government. The Ministry was not part and parcel of the renovations that were made. Therefore, the international standards were not met when that renovation was done. According to the specifications of stadia by CAF, Jomo Kenyatta Stadium did not qualify to host the tournament. This is as per the international standards. However, the Cabinet Secretary has put a rider that going forward, once funds are available and negotiations between the county government and the Ministry are underway, the national Government will come in and help the county government to upgrade that stadium to international standards. In future tournaments, Kisumu will equally be considered. To the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Shollei, the Talanta Hela the Cabinet Secretary is referring to means that when a tournament like this is held in this country, other talents will be initiated in terms of the practicability of the individuals. He is not talking about the initiative that was started, and which he indicated that its procurement process was going on. When a tournament of this magnitude is held within the country, it gives the young persons the urge to make sure that they can be international players and earn from football. He was not referring to the initiative per se but what this tournament will create and the perception it will give to the young Kenyans who are talented in this county. On the issue raised by Hon. Wangwe, there is the annexure which I knew would be too bulky to go through. The standards are in the annexure. I can engage Hon. Wangwe while we proceed with the proceedings. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
