    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to reinforce what my friends have already said. I take this opportunity to thank my friend, Hon. Osotsi, for moving this important Motion. You are aware that I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism. Probably, half of my thoughts came because I sponsor sports in my constituency. We cannot underrate the importance of sports in our community, country and at the global level. We all know the health benefits we accrue from engaging in sports. So many people in our country are obese and are encountering challenges of weight management. A lot of benefits can be attributed to good sports facilities. That is why if this Motion is passed, we will benefit from it. These things can be done at constituency level as my friend proposed. I appreciate the Government for allocating Kshs1.7 million towards sports. That is not enough. If we can think of allocating something like Kshs10 million per year, we will achieve the goal of establishing the sports academy. As you know, most of our youth are struggling to play at national level. They have talent yet our standards of football, and not just football, but our standards of sports are down, especially the ball games. I would like us to support this Motion. I am sure it will bring a lot of benefits to our country. With those few remarks, I support and urge my fellow colleagues to support this Motion.
