    "content": "you devolve this to the counties, it will be very easy to identify and nurture talent. The people who sit here in Nairobi and pretend to run our sports through cartels, hardly ever go to the remote parts of this country. I am not aware of any time when anybody goes to Marsabit, Moyale, Turkana, Bungoma or anywhere to try and identify young talents in sports. So, county governments and their institutions are better placed to get funds, develop infrastructure, identify talent and nurture it. I agree with the Motion that this should be done through the constitutional provisions of transfer of responsibilities through agreement to the county governments. However, we must be careful with Motions like this that cut both ways. Because we may very well give authority to the national Government and knowing how our country has been operating, it will entirely depend on who is where. If the person sitting in a Ministry exercising powers on sports and sports education comes from my county, his first agreement will be with my county regardless of whether we have talent there, or not. You will not be surprised to find somebody concentrating on an area like where my learned junior comes from, where they have never been known to play football, but because the person responsible for football comes from there, you will find they are signing agreements relating to development of football within an area where there is no talent and ignoring areas that have talent. So, when such agreements are desired, we must find ways and means of what we lawyers call, watching the watchers."
