    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is a very progressive Bill. It is a Bill on Sports Act and it seeks to amend the Sports Act for us to have county sports academies. A few days back we passed the Bill by Senator of Nairobi City County, Sen. Sifuna, to provide for county sports association in the Sports Act. Right now we are debating the Bill by Sen. Tom Ojienda and Sen. Chimera to amend the Sports Act so that we can have county sports academies. This is a clear indication that there is need to do an overhaul of the current Sports Act. The current Sports Act was actually enacted in February, 2013 during the last days of Hon. Mwai Kibaki. That Act was seeking to actualize the proposals that are contained in Vision 2030. Vision 2030 provided for the sports academies as part of the social pillar of the Vision 2030. That did not take into account the provisions of the 2010 Constitution that provides that sports is one of the shared functions of the county government and the national Government."
