    "content": "fan of rugby and sports in general, it must be our interest to ensure that our federations function optimally and any time there are accusations of maladministration in those institutions, any fan of sports must take keen interest. Therefore, I hope that KRU shall be open to this kind of scrutiny and perhaps even as a House, we can assist them to achieve their objectives. It is not just about pointing fingers of accusation, but finding a nexus through which we can collaborate with them to ensure that we take rugby to even greater levels than what it already is. While still on the topic of sports, I must express great dissatisfaction with the operations at Sports Kenya. You know that this country has only one continental tour known as the Kipkeino Classic and it happens once every year. We are the only African country that has the honour of hosting that international event, a golden league standard competition. This year, I saw a memo being released yesterday by Sports Kenya that because of the unavailability of Nyayo Stadium and Kasarani, it shall be held at the Ulinzi Stadium. That cannot be the case. I am told that Sports Kenya gave a contractor to repair the running track at the Nyayo Stadium, some fellow who could not tell the difference between what glue to use on that pattern and, therefore, they showed up with super glue and ended up messing up the entire track. If that is the case and Kipkeino Classic is held at Ulinzi Stadium, and we end up losing the hosting rights of our institution, I do not see why the board and the CEO of Sports Kenya should remain in office. It is really unfortunate. We still have time up to the 31st May when this event will be happening for them to put their act together. However, we cannot tolerate that. You cannot expect that international athletes will run on the same track where Sen. Cherarkey normally trains, at Ulinzi Stadium. That is really unfortunate and uncalled for. Therefore, I hope that before the 31st May, 2025, Sports Kenya will put its act together and we will have a gold standard competition in the name of Kipkeino Classic 2025. I thank you."
