    "content": "The country was actually developing five African Nations Championship stadia. Kasarani Sports Complex and Nyayo National Stadium were among them and seven other regional stadia. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts last year, most of those stadia are still ongoing and are not even complete. So, we are not even in a position to hold serious international sporting activities. So, generally, we urge the Government to put more emphasis in supporting the infrastructure of sporting activities. We are also aware that Kenya is very famous with rugby and athletics. We also want to promote other sporting activities. I know, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you are a fan and you are passionate about swimming. We need to promote swimming in Kenya. We need facilities across the country. We need to promote even boxing. The current Cabinet Secretary for Sports is a boxer. We need to promote boxing across the country. We need to promote tennis and other sporting activities so that we can be able to compete effectively in international competitions. Otherwise, I assure the Member who brought this Motion that the Committee is ready to invite him so that we can change this Motion into a Bill and we entrench sports academies into law. Thank you very much and congratulations."
