    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, sports is an area where we have, as a country, a very competitive edge especially with respect to other countries. I want to ask the Prime Minister whether there is a Sports Marshal Plan to make sure that we take advantage of the competitive edge that we already have as a country and invest in this area in a way that will encourage more young people and compensate them sufficiently so that we can actually tap their talent which we have seen is enormous in our country. Does the Government have a plan or is it what we always see which is ad hoc and management by crisis; that whenever we are preparing for the Olympics we have Kipchoge Keino who is the Chairman begging for money from all over? Does the Government really have a plan? For example, Kshs200 million was promised for the renovation of Eldoret Sports Ground Stadium. That was four years ago. To date, that money has not come. Kapsabet is in dire straits. Bear in mind that most of these champions and athletes live around Eldoret. In fact, that is the reason why Eldoret is called “the City of champions”. So, does the Government really have a plan or is it the usual statements like the one the Prime Minister has just read, which is read once in a while?"
