"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, we should pump up to 10 per cent of our budget into sports. Let nobody be surprised with what I am saying. We pump billions of shillings into political parties. So, why can we not spend 10 per cent of our budget on sports? I will walk you through what happens in football for you to realize how great the returns are when you invest in sports. The English Premier League is an 11.84 billion Euro economy. That is the equivalent of about Kshs2 trillion and all they do is to kick a ball.

"content": "In our case, they will kick a ball, run to be the famous champions of Eldoret. If we invest, our sports will not just be limited to football and athletics, but we will also have bullfighting. This is because I am slowly waking up the country to the potential of investing in bullfighting. There are those who do not believe in this, but I want to bring it to the attention of the House that bullfighting is not a joke in Spain. I had the privilege to be sponsored by President Mwai Kibaki to go to Spain and he allowed me to carry five bullfighters. We went there, visited the stadia and saw how they organized their bullfighting. Those people mint billions of shillings from bullfighting. I can tell you that a day will come when bullfighting of Malinya, Ikolomani, Isukha, Malava and Butsotso will be a major income earner to the economy of this country."

"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, having said that, allow me to pay tribute to President Mwai Kibaki. I have already said that he sponsored me and fellow bullfighters to Madrid. He did not just do that. In 2008, he came up with Vision 2030. Inside Vision 2030, he had the pillar on the economy, political stabilization of the country and the pillar on the social issues and sports. That is why he put money for us to go and learn something because he realized what bullfighting would do in the social pillar."

"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, courtesy of that investment, I was able to kick-start the construction of a stadium in Malinya. That stadium has stalled, but I know God willing, once I become the Governor of Kakamega County, I will complete Malinya Stadium. When that happens, we will have Nissans arriving in Malinya and each tourist will pay US$100 every time we have a bullfighting event. A Nissan can carry up to around 14 people. So at US$100, we shall be netting US$1,400 from one Nissan. To fill that stadium, we shall need in excess of almost 50 Nissans. You cannot imagine the multiplier effect of that industry. President Mwai Kibaki wanted to quickly transform Kenya into a middle income country by the year 2030. Sen. Osotsi adequately articulated that when the Jubilee Government took over from President Mwai Kibaki, they went and found billions of shillings inside the Sports Fund. They started salivating for those billions and that is how the stadium that President Mwai Kibaki had wanted to grow from this initiative came to naught. Madam Temporary Speaker, I pay tribute to President Mwai Kibaki and not forget about a young man from my backyard by the name of Hon. Ababu Namwamba. Not many people know that Hon. Ababu was a square peg in a square hole in that Ministry. Hon. Ababu was a symbol of success when he was the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Sports and the Arts. It was under Hon. Ababu that the ban on Football Kenya Federation (FKF) by Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) was lifted. That is how Kenya came back into competing in soccer. It was during his time that soccer was reinvigorated in our secondary schools. Today, if you go to our secondary schools, you will get to see the soccer that used to be in schools are back. We have the Green Commandos of Kakamega High School, the Scorpions of Musingu High School, the champions of Kisi High School and the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

"content": "champions of Kisumu Boys. They are now competing thanks to efforts by Hon. Ababu. I want to celebrate him. The Talanta Sports City on Ngong Road was his brainchild. There is construction going on. I wonder how a decision was made to remove Hon. Ababu, who was performing, then bring in people like Hon. Ruku. I saw someone called Hon. Ruku being interviewed to become a Cabinet Secretary. He struggled then another lady by the name Hon. Cheptumo came in. I say this with due respect. She is the wife of our former colleague, but she is not material for Cabinet Secretary position. You saw the potential Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs telling the whole country, which cared to listen, that our young girls die in Airbnb because they are hungry for money."
