"content": "If you remember, yesterday, and I think you were on the seat also, we were discussing the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill, and we were saying let us increase the punitive fine, so that people can implement the law. This is such that when we tell counties to employ five percent of PwDs and they violate it, we have a mechanism of punishing those aggressors, both at the national and county levels. Thirdly, I agree the headquarters should be in Nairobi although we need to agree that sometimes with the advent of devolution, let us have branches in Bomet, Nandi, Mombasa, Lamu, West Pokot, Uasin Gishu, Mandera, Wajir, and even Migori counties, now that Nairobi is the Capital City, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you and I come from counties dominated by sports, and I saw there was sports in your county, the Double IAF. However, tell the people who built that stadium, the county government, to build public toilets, because our children really suffered. I got that complaint on access to water and the lack of sanitary amenities in that stadium. I hope the county government can fix it in good time, and you can take that message to my friend, the governor. I know Sen. Cheruiyot has pushed for elections in Athletics Kenya. Can you believe that somebody training in Iten must travel all the way to Nairobi if they want services of Athletics Kenya? Most of them are using matatus. Why do we not devolve offices to Kericho, Kisii, Nandi, Iten and where these people are? As we say that the headquarters of the Council for PwDs should be in Nairobi, we must remember the people in mashinani, so that we do not waste time. I pity our athletes that they have to travel for six hours---"
