    "content": "We need to give credit where it is due. I take this opportunity to applaud, recognize and congratulate efforts by one gentleman, Rashid Abdalla and his wife Lulu Hassan, for their steadfast and resolute industry, effort, discipline and commitment in running what is perhaps the largest football bonanza in Kwale County - the Rashid Abdalla Super Cup Editions. All football clubs in Kwale County are dear to me, but there is one that I love. It is called Denmark FC from Maganyakulo in Matuga Constituency. That club has participated in many tournaments over time. However, as I speak here today, they are participating in the nationwide league. That club started from non-script tournaments sponsored by politicians and well-wishers. Recently through the Rashid Abdallah Super Cup, Denmark FC was recognised nationally. It will be a travesty of justice if I do not subscribe and mention, on the Floor of this House, their rallying motto. You will allow me to speak in Swahili because the rallying motto of Denmark FC is in Swahili and I cannot translate it in English. They say, ‘hii ni Denmark wewe, kataa uone.’ I am happy that through these tournaments, we have real world-class talent being showcased to the nation and the world. The hallmark of this Bill is about identifying, nurturing and promoting sports talent. It is not necessarily about football talent, but sports talent as a whole. So, we will be able to identify, nurture, promote and hopefully turn the talents of our young men into an economic gaining activity. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to take this chance to laud the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, led by my able Governor emeritus, Hon. Salim Mvurya. I appreciate him for breathing life into this Bill even before it becomes law. Yesterday, I was supposed to accompany him in Taru, Kinango Constituency, as he was launching the Sports Academy at Taru High School.
