    "content": "Page 16, under support for new regional stadia, Kidundu is listed as a project. That is already considered but we have also been in talks with the leadership of Vihiga, including the Governor to determine the best place in Vihiga County for a regional stadium. On the question regarding Kiprugut Chuma Stadium, it is true that we have formally, and in an official ceremony, renamed that stadium in honour of Kenya’s fastest-ever Olympic Medal Winner, the Late Kiprugut arap Chuma. That is the new name and we are aware there are a few elements that need to be completed, something that Sports Kenya is seized of for completion. Hon. Oyula mentioned Busia County Stadium. I am pleased to inform the Speaker that this particular county has no stadium as the Member has indicated. The remnants of the stadium that was there were victims of the public protests, which went away with the remnants of Busia Stadium, and therefore, Busia no longer has a stadium. However, we have advertised this project and expression of interest is ongoing for construction of a new stadium in Busia County. The process of expression of interest is nearing the tail end. There is a later Question here on the sports academy which we had provided some information on academies."
