    "content": "These include the Kenya Sports Development Authority which at a later stage during the Third Reading we shall be proposing that it be renamed “Sports Kenya”. The National Sports Fund, the Kenya National Sports Institute, the Registrar of Sports Organization that will be responsible for registration and oversight over sports organizations and quite crucially the Sports Disputes Tribunal which will hear and determine disputes related to sports, sports organizations and appeals from the decisions of the registrar of sports organizations. Those five institutions will in a very fundamental way remake the entire arena of sports. Let me just say that sports is a universal language. It is a language that everybody can understand and log into. Sports has brought fame and great prosperity to this country. This Bill has been awaited for a long time. I want to plead with the House to use this opportunity as the sun sets on the life of the Tenth Parliament and as we commend the Tenth Parliament for being the most reformist House in the history of this country, that this Bill be part of the great reforms that have already been witnessed in the life of this House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to commend the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare chaired by my eminent sister Mrs. Sophia Noor for the excellent work they have done in respect of this Bill. I have had occasion to hold a meeting with this committee and I was very impressed by not only their commitment to this Bill but also their very passion, their understanding of the content of this Bill. I do believe that after this Bill has been enacted, it will indeed be easy for myself and the committee responsible to agree on brushing it up and making improvements which I am pleased to report to the House that we have basically agreed between myself and the committee that oversights the Ministry. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is indeed my great pleasure to move the Sports Bill, 2012. I beg to move and my dear sister, Minister for Higher Education, Science and Technology, and Governor-designate for Uasin Gishu County, will most kindly second the Bill."
