    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Kenya, we have shown that we have the football talent but we are not putting enough resources in order to support the footballers and football, generally. At this time when we want to remember Kadenge, it is a time when we should try to find out a more effective way of making Kenya great in the world of football. This is because football is a big industry and also something that is admired all over the world. It was shameful that in this region, our teams, Uganda and Tanzania, have been bundled out from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). In fact, the other day, President Magufuli was very remorseful wondering how a team coming from a nation of four million people can defeat Tanzania. I must say that there is something wrong in the region and that is why people like Kadenge come and go. It is because we do not give enough resources and inspiration to the game of football. However, Kadenge will live forever in the minds of the people of this country. I know there were great footballers like Ali Kadjo, Oronge and in the 1980s, we also produced great footballers. However, I think the skills are being put to waste because not enough resources are being given to football. The other day, Kariobangi Sharks - Sen. Sakaja was there - a team which is not very well known, took on the great Everton and won. I saw Everton had their best. If I ask you who were playing in Kariobangi Sharks, probably it is only Sen. Cheruiyot and Sen. Sakaja who can tell me a name. People are not thinking about Kenyan football. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us have a record of the Statement that Sen. Khaniri has made today. When we go to lay to rest our great footballer, Kadenge, the proceedings of this House should be offered to the family to show that on this day, we appreciated Joe Kadenge. Let his soul rest in eternal peace."
