    "content": "That is what I was coming to. Maybe, the plan is to say that with Sports Kenya, how can those training pitches be accessed by children and even players who are at the bottom of the pyramid? They cannot pay a higher fee. We should work out that plan as we develop that facility. I am not aware in so far as the question of employees not coming from your ward. I suspect there may be some because there are 2,000 in number. This is a huge figure and, at their optimum, they will have 3,000 people working day and night. I do not suspect that possibly with the minimum skills to work there, people will miss from your ward. But with the remaining 1,000 number of job opportunities, we will tell the contractor to ensure people around are considered. That is the case for every Government project, including the housing project. I hope that can be followed through. Coming from your presentation here, we can speak to the contractor to help you put up a sports academy within the neighbourhood of Lenana Primary School, the new school you have built, so that by extending a facility to that very important school, it can also serve as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). I undertake that endeavour, not because you are my friend, but because it is the right thing to do. Hon. K.J. also raised the question of Football Kenya Federation (FKF) elections and the eligibility of those who have held office for more than two terms. A letter from the Registrar went out expressly to FKF stating that no one will run for the same office for more than two terms as per the Sports Act. That is very clear. If the FKF officials who are holding office now want to run for office, then they may want to run for different offices other than what they have served for more than two terms, so that we can be within our legal standards.
