    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important issue that is being raised by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. This morning, the leadership of Football Kenya Federation (FKF) was before one of the Committtees of the National Assembly. I happened to be watching, and I realized the tribulations that many of our athletes are going through, especially Harambee Stars and Harambee Starlets. Many of these young people, just out of passion for this country and the desire to represent and carry our flag in great honor, they continue to participate in sports activities despite the fact that the Ministry of Sports and Social Services does not honour their promises to them. It will be important to know the justification of the Ministry funding some very elite sports that have got very little following in this country. When we had the Kenya Golf Open, this kitty gave them Kshs200 million. When we had the National Safari Rally, they were given Kshs450 million, yet Harambee Stars - a team that when they play this country unites behind them and the 40 million plus citizens of this country cheer them on - cannot even get money to pay for hotel accommodation."
