    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to speak on this. I will be very brief. I only want to touch on two issues - sports and internally displaced persons (IDPs). I would like to agree with the previous speaker on this issue. Some of these functions are national and cannot be devolved. Counties cannot be stopped from participating in sports. They cannot take the role of the national Government, especially when it comes to national functions of sports. For example if we are sending the Kenya national team, counties can participate at the local level. That has been going on. That does not require any legislation at all because we have sports at the local level and in schools and counties can participate in that. We need to look at the issue of even managing our own affairs in sports because Kenya is a sporting nation. We find that our sportsmen and women are suffering because we do not have any order in that sector. In recent times, you have seen the upsurge of foreign agents who come here. They mistreat our sportsmen and women and even feed them drugs that are prohibited by international bodies."
