    "content": "(iii) Testing of athletes. (iv) Outreach programmes, education and awareness campaigns (v) Development of ADAK logo (vi) Branding of anti-doping materials (vii) Development of risk assessment and register testing pool (viii) Relevant panel to be trained, including investigation, appeal, result management and therapeutic use of exemption teams. Sen. Okong’o requested for an explanation on what steps the Government has taken to facilitate ADAK to carry out its mandate. His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya assented to the Executive Order of the establishment of the agency. Also, there was an approval of the Anti-Doping Cabinet Memorandum by the national Cabinet which has proposed an annual budget of Kshs500 million. There has also been a re-gazzettement of ADAK board members. In addition, during the current Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) budget processes, ADAK will be allocated adequate financial resources. Finally, Sen. Okong’o wanted an explanation on what actions the Government has taken against institutions and individuals that aid and abet doping amongst Kenyan athletes. The Government, in collaboration with the Pharmacist and Poisons Board and the Medical and Dentists Board (PPBMDB), has been carrying out raids on chemists, pharmacies and clinics which are suspected to have aided and abet athletes in the use of prohibited substances. The Ministry of Sports, Culture and Arts is in the process of approaching the security department to carry out investigations on athletes, managers and institutions suspected to be involved in doping. They will also establish an immigrations department for vetting foreign agents and managers coming in the country in sports-related occupations. Thank you."
