    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the amendments proposed to the Sports Act are brilliant. Did you know that every year, the whole world must pay attention because of Kenyan athletes? That attention is also seen here in Kenya because we must watch television and see our people running. I have never heard of any time when we have a very serious competition here where we are excited to watch; like now the way we are glued to the television sets and some people are fighting over English football leagues like Manchester United. When you mention this name, somebody wakes up at night and says “you have mentioned my team” and they fight physically! I have found boys fighting because the other one just made a remark trying to demean the other team. We do not love our sports people. If God gave us this privilege to give birth to people who can run and bring fame and money to Kenya, why do we not support them? Why do we praise football more? Sen. Wako should have mentioned the Abaluhya Football Club of the 1970s. Madam Temporary Speaker, if the counties can curve a niche in sports that do not exist anywhere else, we will all support them. I would love to go and see cock fighting in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
