    "content": "it needs to be dealt with quickly and that person moves on. If he or she is clean, he goes back to the field to continue earning his or her living. If there was a problem, it should be sorted out within a certain time to allow the athlete to move on. There is a code of conduct which means everybody must adhere to the rules and regulations as enforced in the Bill. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, concerning accountability, the sports world attracts a lot of money. All the international athletes like Michael Jordan and the rest are always trying to support many causes. The philanthropic people will always ensure the world of sports is well remunerated. Therefore, accountability should be there. There should not be an issue like when the agency is disbanded or the board, nobody can account for the assets and you find that you still need to engage an authority to come and look at the assets. That will not be in order. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I can see that there is a lot of strictness. It has been put in general but I know the time will come that we can look at the relevant amendments which we can put and ensure that it is air-tight and friendly to the Kenyan situation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the authority that is going to be established should ensure that once the Bill is passed and it becomes a law, can we have the people concerned; be it the board members, Cabinet Secretary in charge of Sports, Arts and Culture or the Ministry to do proper dissemination of the law? Awareness or sensitization to all Kenyans is necessary in all languages that everybody can understand. It should even be translated in Kiswahili to avoid misrepresentation. We have seen instances where the Bill is clear and written in black and white but other people interpret it in their own way and give different meaning. This should be avoided. As we know, in law, no one should ever plead ignorance."
