    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, time and again, this Ministry has been starved of resources, therefore, training of athletes does not get to its peak. The Ministry has also not been able to recruit qualified coaches to handle our athletes and other sporting activities. Enough funds must also be there to make sure that competitions and championships are staged in this country. Great pugilists or boxers in this country like Philip Waruinge, the first boxer to earn a Silver Medal in Olympics, have been forgotten. It is high time that such athletes or sportsmen are considered, elevated and rewarded because of promoting the image and fame of this country. Mr. Charles Asati, a very famous athlete of 4x400 Meters, demonstrated the stamina and the determination of our athletes during the 1972 Olympics Games. Our facilities in this country need to be upgraded. This cannot be done if the Ministry is not allocated a lot of resources. I recall sometimes last year when His Excellency the President visited Kiambu County and pledged to allocate Kshs30 million for the upgrading of Kirigiti Stadium. Up to now, the stadium has not been improved. I call upon the Minister to investigate this matter because this is the only stadium that the entire Kiambu County can stage their activities. This is where the first public meeting was held by the founding fathers of this nation and, therefore, it is a historic stadium."
