    "content": " They should consult quietly. I also wanted to talk about sports tourism. It has now become a high earning sector. We are seeing even ordinary Kenyans travelling to various places in this country. Some of them are even going to neighbouring countries where they are participating in sporting activities which are well funded. I want to request this country and the chairman to incorporate sports tourism so that we can diversify the products we have in this country. Let us not talk about animals. If we organise good marathons in this country, I know Kenyans can earn a lot of money. This weekend, we have cross country championships in Eldoret and I have seen the way governors in the North Rift have organised that particular sport. They are ferrying people to the place where that cross country is going to take place. This is something which we can replicate in our constituencies. We do not have to bring foreigners to this country. Even with our own resources, if we engage in sports properly, I am sure we will also earn money. I come from Gatanga where we are very well known for music. Last year, using little funds NG-CDF, we managed to organise talent shows ending up at Carnivore Restaurant and we were able to raise funds which are going to support our youth. So, I am saying with the right support and proper funding of our sports, this country can go far. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
