    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, what I wanted to say is that Mr. Omutia has a job to do. I am saying that because the Sports Act that was enacted last year needs to be implemented immediately, so that we can help the horrible status of retired sportsmen and women. It is pathetic. You find people who did us proud are, up to now, still suffering. One of the issues that I want Mr. Omutia to look into is that, of late, we have had so many other institutions which want to promote sports in one way or the other and the latest is EABL. When they sponsored the pool tournament, one very young person called Martin Mwangi Wangui won the tournament and was supposed to have represented this country in England. But he was denied that opportunity just because he comes from a very poor background and so, never had an opportunity to process his passport in time. I think those are the issues facing those young people with talents and capabilities. They should be given an opportunity to represent this country elsewhere. Otherwise, as regards sports, that is where my passion is. I think Mr. Omutia needs to do quite a lot so that the dismal performance of our national team, Harambee Stars, is reversed. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
