"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, earlier on, I tried to indulge the Minister over this issue. First of all, I want to declare that I have no personal interests in this matter other than being a sport-loving Kenyan and also a Kenyan who is interested in the rule of law. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Kenyans are very concerned about the way sporting is going under this Minister, because she is refusing to talk and be guided. I remember that during her first two events as the Minister for Youth Affairs and sports, I sat next to her when we met with the Junior National Football Team at Moi Sports Centre, Kasarani. She had no idea what soccer is all about, and I guided her throughout the match. Right now, Harambee Stars is about to go to Nigeria but they have not even heard from the Ministry. So, there is a problem in this Ministry. Having said that, I want to go to the gist of the matter. The lady Minister has enumerated the procedures she expects multinational organizations to follow when pursuing naming rights. Could she, kindly, guide this House on the relevant law, stating when it was passed? Where did we decide how our national monuments should be named other than by way of executive orders, which have never made sense to Kenyans? Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Coca Cola Limited, as a company, has written several communications to the Minister, in which they have said: âWe are a brand name, which has been around for 120 years.â They also said that they appreciate the word âNyayoâ for what it means. Today, she has told us what the word âNyayoâ means. Personally, I have no problem with naming anything âNyayoâ, because I respect the retired President, but facts are facts. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to table a letter dated 20th May, 2009, from Sports Stadia Management Board, referenced âAmendment of the Agreement in Relation to Nyayo National Stadium"
