    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to reply. I will beginning by thanking all the Senators who have spoken on this Bill. I will be quick, so that we can allow Sen. Chimera to also move his Bill that deals with county academies and the protection of minors involved in sports. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to start by thanking the Seconder, the Hon. Osotsi, Hon. Karen Nyamu, Sen. Eddy Oketch, Sen. Olekina, Sen. Chimera, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. Mutinda, and last but not least, Sen. Mungatana, who have all spoken to this Bill. I was taking notes as they were speaking. I think Sen. Mungatana has nailed it properly when he said that the Constitution says sports is a devolved function. Therefore, we expect that when the county governments put money in development of infrastructure, they must also support talent development through the registered associations. What we are doing here, Hon. Speaker is although the responsibility is on the county governments and the governors are very fond of shouting, saying money must follow functions, even at the county government, those functions must be financed. This is why we are saying now that they are not doing it, I began by telling the House that, if you look at the budget of Nairobi City County, of over Kshs43 billion, there is not a single line that is assigned to supporting talent development and sports development through these associations."
