    "content": "They have all this technology that they use on these sports people, and they help them to perform to their peak. Sports psychologists will have opportunities in 47 counties. Even those who are not necessarily having any problems, there are those who, for one reason or another, their performance has dipped and this we experience everywhere. Even in our academics, when we were growing up, sometimes things happen. For whatever reason, you are not able to hit your number one or number two or number three as is you usual do. You sit with someone who talks to you, who understands you. These academies in 47 counties will create a whole new capacity in the sports economy in this Republic of Kenya. There are also physiotherapists. I am speaking as the Chair of the Senate Sports Committee. We have many members here who participated in the games and some suffers injuries. In fact, I know of a friend, a member of the National Assembly, who has since December last year has undergone at least four surgeries on his knee for purposes of recovering from the injury he suffered in football. Forty-seven counties will open up for physiotherapists, sports therapists and people who know about how to deal with sports injuries. The sports economy in this country will start to develop at a tremendous rate. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this will give us a huge edge because there is no such law within our neighbouring countries. For teams that believe in God or they have put God in their whatever, there will be job creation for chaplains, for those of us who are Christians. Teams especially in West African countries hold to the African traditional religions. They bring their mascots and pray. That is job creation within the sports academy. We shall develop capacity and grow the whole sports economy within the Republic of Kenya. We shall even be able to export sporting management capacity. We have said within this county sports academy, there will be management created . Once you have managed a sports academy in Kenya, especially in some of these big counties, you can manage even a sports academy in any other country across Africa. I believe that this law will create great opportunities that will be used to grow the entire sports economy. This Bill is also seeking to involve the local community in county academies activities. It means in various villages in a county such as Tana River, you will be having local communities being called to support that academy. How do they support the activities of that academy? If that academy is set up in one of the constituencies, the people who are camping there will need food, clothing, water and even medical supplies. These are business opportunities for the local communities surrounding those sports academies. Mr. Speaker, can you imagine all the suppliers across the 47 counties will be having a place where they are taking foods? Employees associated with sports, for example, nutritionists also will be in those academies. I believe that this is a good Bill that the Senate has brought. I congratulate the committee and Senators that have come together. I think it is Sen. Chimera and Sen. Tom The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
