    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the promotion and development of alternative sports in Kisumu County and across the country. While the mainstream sports like football and athletics receive significant attention and funding, there is a growing interest in alternative sports such as Kung fu, roller skating, rugby sevens and water sports. In Kisumu County, for instance, many young people actively participate in these sports, but face challenges due to limited infrastructure and inadequate funding. Despite their potential to create jobs, empower youths, prevent crime and position Kisumu as a sports tourism hub, especially in water-based sports in Lake Victoria, there is little structured investment in this discipline. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Outline the Ministry of Sports' plans to promote and develop alternative sports, particularly in Kisumu County, detailing steps taken to provide the necessary infrastructure, including the construction and upgrading of sports facilities, access to training equipment and the establishment of talent development centers to support growth of this business. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
