"content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am answering all questions. I was only linking the answer to Mr. Namwambaâs, through what he tabled here. With regard to the appointment of the CEO, I would like to say that the Government has two ways of appointing CEOs. Everybody knows this! It is either through competitive advertisement or through head hunting, which is normal. I want to say that with regard to the appointment of the current CEO, we are all aware that we are preparing for the 2010 World Cup, and there is urgency of preparation to host the various teams. So, I confirm, and repeat, that the appointment of the CEO was done legally. As for the answer to Mr. Chanzu, I would like to say that the Nyayo National Stadium is not just any other stadium, because it is the place where we hold our national days. Coca cola as well as other companies are welcome to develop sporting facilities in this country, including new ones. As for the Kipchoge Keino Stadium, it is true that the Government committed Kshs100 million in 2007, but, unfortunately, the former SSMB did not move out of Nairobi to develop other sporting facilities. I hope that the current Board will move out and develop sporting facilities in other parts of this country, including the ones in Thika. The question asked by Mr. Sambu regarding FKL and the KFF, I would like to say that this House is aware that I stood here some months back and said that there was a reconciliation committee that had been appointed to look into the wrangles in the management of football, and that this committee was seeking a lasting solution. I want to confirm here that its report is going to be tabled very soon, so that we get answers. As for the Harambee Stars, they belong to the nation and I want to say that the Government, through my Ministry, will support the Harambee Stars team in their preparation for the forthcoming matches as we have been doing. My Ministry paid Kshs6 million to the coach who is taking care of the team at the moment."
