    "content": "Kenya has been represented in every Sevens World Cup since 2001 and yet support from the Government has been minimal. As the sport develops, it has come with new demands that must be met. With the little support that the Kenya Rugby Union has received, our players have squarely placed Kenya on global rugby map. They need to be supported in line with the demands of the game in human resource, remuneration, facilities and infrastructure. This will go a long way to enable our best output as a country. Rugby has brought national glory to Kenya. This cannot go unmentioned. Members will recall that Mr. Collins Injera, who is a young and unassuming man from Vihiga Boys School, became a top scorer in the world while competing for Kenya in the International Rugby Boards Sevens Circuit. His elder brother, and former Kenya team captain, Mr. Humphrey Kayange, was involved with other notable individuals. The world first global icon, the late John Alamu, successfully advocated for the return of Sevens Rugby to the Olympic Games. History will judge me harshly if I fail to mention the country’s first professional rugby player, Mr. Edward Rombo. He became a professional when he moved to the United Kingdom (UK) to play for the Leeds Rhinos in 1990. Since then, only Mr. Lukas Onyango has walked the same path. It is sad that as a country, we have produced only two world class players in 28 years."
