    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Motion on establishment of a national rugby union stadium in Kenya. Sporting activities have been known to promote anti-aging as well as bring social, cultural and economic benefits. When we talk about economic benefits, we are talking about job creation. There are quite a number of youths who have no jobs. So, if they are engaged, the economic index of this country will grow. The youth in our country are engaged in a lot of crime. They are engaged in drug and substance abuse. When we engage them in sporting activities, there will be a reduction in crime. There is the issue of cultural benefits. We know very well that peace initiatives can be ventured into if we engage in sporting activities. We know very well that the athletes in our nation have improved the economy. If we venture into rugby, we will create a lot of jobs for our youth. In the newspapers, we saw that Kshs800,000 will be used in the area of obesity to do operations. So, if we engage in sporting activities, we will use that money to take our children to school. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
