    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity. I beg to support this Bill, even though some definitions are yet to be clarified. This is an international document that will affect our citizens both locally and internationally. Nothing should be left for people to interpret as they wish. The definition of the word ‘trafficking’ is still disturbing. I have been thinking of what “other means” could be. It could be selling, giving, transporting, sending and other means. There is also the issue of sending electronically. Section 2(f) also provides that this definition shall not include the actions of bona fide medical personnel involving a prohibited substance used for genuine and legal therapeutic purposes or other acceptable justification, and shall not include actions involving prohibited substances which are not prohibited in out of competition testing unless the circumstances as a whole demonstrate such prohibited substances are not intended for genuine and legal therapeutic purposes or are intended to enhance sport performance. What do they mean by “out-of-competition?” The definitions that they have included are broad. It could be interpreted that an athlete who has used some substance that is considered to be prohibited could lose their medals even when they have trained well. Unfortunately, the Bill is being rushed. I would have loved a situation where w ananchi of Kenya are given a chance to scrutinize it. They should ask to be given The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
