    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, courtesy of that investment, I was able to kick-start the construction of a stadium in Malinya. That stadium has stalled, but I know God willing, once I become the Governor of Kakamega County, I will complete Malinya Stadium. When that happens, we will have Nissans arriving in Malinya and each tourist will pay US$100 every time we have a bullfighting event. A Nissan can carry up to around 14 people.

Ababu was a square peg in a square hole in that Ministry. Hon. Ababu was a symbol of success when he was the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Sports and the Arts. It was under Hon. Ababu that the ban on Football Kenya Federation (FKF) by Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) was lifted. That is how Kenya came back into competing in soccer. It was during his time that soccer was reinvigorated in our secondary schools. Today, if you go to our secondary schools, you will get to see the soccer that used to be in schools are back. We have the Green Commandos of Kakamega High School, the Scorpions of Musingu High School, the champions of Kisi High School and the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
