    "content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. First and foremost, I would like to congratulate Hon. Gideon Keter for bringing this Motion which is very important to our lives, especially the young people who normally play rugby. This was my favourite game when I was in high school. It helped me a lot. I would like to encourage the establishment of a national rugby union stadium in the country and even to go further in our counties so that we can be able to tap talents of the young people. This game brings the young people together and brings unity amongst fellow countrymen. This is because it is the avenue where many people interact. This game goes a lot in developing our body structures. I would urge fellow Members to support this Motion so that we can have these stadiums especially in our counties whereby we can encourage our young people. Having those clubs where our young people practise or play rugby, they will be much aware of what is gotten from games. Games in our country and outside this country are well-paying. You will see a player earning a lot of money through games. I urge the Government to consider rugby as one of the important games which should be encouraged, funded and encouraged even in our schools so that we can have those teams. At the same time when our Kenyan team goes to play outside there, we will have more professional players. I support this Motion. Thank you."
