    "content": "In this regard, Hon. Members, my office has received several proposed amendments to the Sports (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.25 Of 2018). I am satisfied, after perusal that the amendments proposed by the Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism are in order. However, the amendments proposed by the nominated Member, Hon. Godfrey Osotsi and the Member for Lari, Hon. Jonah Mburu, to introduce a New Clause 4 in the Bill are not admissible. This is because the amendments intend to retain two separate sports funds: one under the Sports Act, 2013 and the other under the Public Finance Management Act (Sports, Arts and Social Development Fund Regulations 2018). The resultant effect is to give a lifeline to the two sports funds despite their having similar objectives. In this regard, these amendments will render the law illogical and offend the provisions of Standing Order 133(5), (6) and (8) relating to admissibility of amendments at the Committee of the whole House. Further, the proposed amendments will make provisions for matters listed in the definition of a money Bill pursuant to the provisions of Article 114(2) of the Constitution and Standing Order No. 114. The Budget and Appropriations Committee has recommended that the Assembly does not proceed with the amendments. I, therefore, wish to guide the House that the amendments introducing New Clause 4 as proposed by the Nominated Member Hon. Osotsi and the Member for Lari, Hon. Jonah Mburu, shall not be considered in the Committee of the whole House. I thank you, Members."
