    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Anti-Doping Bill. First and foremost, I want to thank the Committee and the many Members who contributed significantly so that we can pass this Bill within the timeframe. Kenya is a signatory to the 2005 UN Convention against doping. In line with our Constitution, as long as all the international treaties that we are signatory to are ratified, they are part and parcel of our laws. We are doing this for the benefit of our youth. I am also speaking on behalf of Hon. Wesley Korir, who is my friend, a neighbour and the Member of Parliament for Cherangany in Trans Nzoia County. He requested that we support this Bill. He is away for the Boston Marathon. I humbly request Members to expedite debate and pass this Bill for the interest of our sports people."
