    "content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not like the through pass that I have been given. How can he say “On this one”, I thought I should inform him on everything? Anyway, the quick point I wanted to inform Sen. Cherarkey is that in 2016, when we were doing the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Act, the one that currently guides the management of athletics and all these doping issues, I brought an amendment to this House, and argued very vigorously that the headquarters of that institution should not be here in Nairobi, but should be somewhere in the North Rift, where 90 per cent of the athletes come from anyway. Unfortunately, that amendment was defeated. I want to plead with my good friend, Sen. Cherarkey, that he can give it a second shot, because the country is in a better mode of equity right now. Under the broad-based arrangement we are reorganizing Kenya to ensure that those that have benefited more than others are giving space for those from the forgotten corners of the country. Therefore, I urge Sen. Cherarkey to bring that amendment, and we will support him."
