    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion as amended. First, I want to thank Mheshimiwa Keter for the good work that he has done, particularly on this Motion talking about sports. It is important for us to realise that rugby is a very unique sport. As my dear brother has just said, the western region has really taken over. Rugby is a sport that needs people with muscles. A person from Nyeri who has not eaten very well might not be able to play this sport. In my constituency, there is a rugby team called Wanyore. Wanyore comes from the western region. It is one of the sports that we want to support because it has put Kenya on the sporting map. As much as the seven-a-side rugby has taken us there, the other one known as fifteen-a- side has not been given a lot of attention. I agree with what Hon. Keter has said. Kenyans cannot be participating in the Sevens World Cup – it is now almost 20 years and yet we do not have a stadium that can host the same event in this country. It is an important aspect to have a specific stadium for a specific sport. That way, we can ask to be given an opportunity to host the Sevens World Cup. Our team goes to other countries to play other teams, but those teams will never come to play in our country. I want to thank our Kenya Sevens team because they lifted that trophy at one time, despite playing far away from home. I want to thank the rugby team for the good work that they are doing."
