    "content": "sports because it is a devolved function. We need the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) of the coming year to reflect on what has already been achieved. If you look at this report, you will see that we have mentioned that five stadia will be build in Naivasha and other areas of the country. Come next financial year, how then do we review whether they report progress. If they said that they will build a stadium in Naivasha and we gave allocation for that, do they report progress in the next year? It is very important that we monitor what has been put in this report so that we are not just a “talk House”. If we allocated a certain amount of money, and it was not used, we must find out where the money goes to. Was it carried forward or retained? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the issue of anti-doping is important. As a country we should take clear measures to avoid bans from international competitions. That also falls under the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. We had already talked about it. Concerning the issues of library services, we have a Bill pending in this House which will ensure devolution of management of these services. Sen. Gwendo has brought a Bill to deal with that issue but this should be noted; we must look at Article 187 of the Constitution to know how well these library services will be managed because they are in the counties. They are not in the air. We should look at other issues, for instance, social halls to know how much is released this year and for what. We can monitor come the next financial to ascertain value. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I beg to support."
