    "content": "Mr. Kabando wa Kabando): Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware of any private company which is using the images of Kenyan sportsmen and women in advertisements without giving them any financial gain. (b) I am not aware that Mr. Dennis Oliech, an international footballer, resigned from the national team, Harambee Stars, due to the use of his image without financial gain made to him, since no official communication has been received in my Ministry. In the meantime, my Ministry regards Mr. Oliech as a bona fide member of the national team, Harambee Stars. Indeed, the national team coach has named him in the current team, which his getting into training to play against Malawi on 2nd June, 2012 and Namibia on 9th June, 2012 in the World Cup qualifier matches, and also against Togo on 16th June, 2012, in the African Cup of Nations qualifier match. We look forward to Dennis Oliech’s continued appearance for the national team. (c) As for the sportsmen and women whose images are used by companies in advertisements, my Ministry is not party to such contracts since it is not involved in the signing of the agreements. My Ministry, however, is and will always be available to advise athletes and all sports individuals on commercial ventures which they may engage in. I, therefore, advise them to involve the Ministry and their sports federations in these ventures."
