    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to thank Waziri Onesmus Kipchumba Murkomen for appearing here and also fielding these questions. My questions are very direct. First, what plans does the Ministry have for the people of Ng’ando Ward in Nairobi County, which does not have a single public amenity? The only public amenity is Lenana School. The people of Ng’ando Ward have traditionally been crossing Ngong Road to play in the Posta Grounds. The new stadium is being built on the Posta Grounds. Two tragedies are occasioned on our people. First, the workforce is imported from elsewhere. The people of Ng’ando Ward are just watching as those projects are ongoing. What plans does the Ministry have to include our people so that they can also serve their community during the construction of that stadium? Ng’ando Ward is only now getting its first public primary school. All the schools in that Ward use the Posta Grounds as their playing field. We do not have any fields in all of Ng’ando Ward, and they are building a stadium there. What plans does the Ministry have for those tens of thousands of children who have traditionally been playing in that field? The second question is a quick one. Is the Ministry aware that there are office bearers of FKF who are insisting that they shall contest in the elections beyond their constitutional tenures, arguing that their tenures were interrupted by the COVID-19 Pandemic? Hon. Speaker, you were a Senator, and your tenure must have been interrupted. So was mine, and so was the tenure of His Excellency President Emeritus Uhuru Kenyatta, but he did not insist that he shall go beyond his constitutional tenure just because it was interrupted by the COVID-19 Pandemic. I would like to know what the Ministry is doing about that because we would not want the Ministry to fall captive to federations just like previous ministries have been. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker."
