"content": "I have withdrawn. The issue that is very clear in my mind is that if we fall back to Vision 2030, envisioned by the late President Mwai Kibaki, where the development of stadia was a priority, we would see significant progress. If you care to read it, President Kibaki envisioned that, today, every county would have a high-quality stadium. Considering the talent that abounds, you cannot imagine the latent potential that would emerge. Who would have known until recently that the Luhyas can produce some of the best athletes? The fastest man in Africa today is Ferdinand Kakhayanga Omanyala. The fastest man in the world in the 800 metres is none other than Wanyonyi from Bungoma. I forgot to mention that the grandmother of Ferdinand Omanyala Kakhayanga is Omushere Kakhabaleya Kakhayanga, who happens to be my elder sister. That makes him my grandnephew, if there is such a term. We must insist on giving each county a stadium. For larger counties like Nairobi City County, due to their population, they should have more stadia. The same applies to Kakamega, Bungoma, Mombasa, Nakuru and Kiambu counties. The success of sports lies in how you nurture talent from a young age. In Brazil, children join academies between the ages of five and ten. In the United Kingdom (UK), they join around 10 or 11 years old. In Kenya, due to liquidity challenges, we cannot establish stadia and football academies fast enough. However, there is a solution. Part of the funds, Senator for Nairobi City County, can be directed to schools. It is evident where football talent in Kenya lies. It is rare to see players from other areas succeeding at the highest level in soccer. However, this happens quickly for children from the Coast, Western and Nyanza regions, specifically the Luhyas and the Luos. We are the giants of football. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I propose that we direct funds to schools like Kakamega High School, Musingu Boys High School, Kisii High School, Kisumu Boys High School and Highway Secondary School in Nairobi. These schools consistently win national football championships. On another note, I mentioned bullfighting, which drew some laughter. However, I have calculated its potential. In Spain, bullfighting is a 1.6 billion Euro economy, equivalent to about Kshs235 billion. Our bullfighting is more sophisticated than Spain's because, in their culture, the fighter bull is killed. In our culture, the fighter bull is idolized, celebrated and immortalized. The funds we borrow from Europe to invest in sports are unnecessary. We have talent here that only requires minimal investment to grow. As I mentioned earlier, the English Premier League is an 11.84 billion Euro economy, translating to Kshs2 trillion. Right at our fingertips, we have the answer to how we can fund sports. With those remarks, I want to celebrate Sen. Cherarkey, the Senator for Nandi County. I had the opportunity to confirm that he is a footballer. However, he shocked me when I saw him on the ball. Based on his shape, I could not tell if he was the player or the ball. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support the Bill."
