• 7 May 2025 in Senate: Yesterday Yamal Lamine performed extremely well. In my opinion, he was the man of the match. He is only 17 years old. I wondered looking at the background of that prolific grandmaster of the football game. I found out that Yamal Lamine studied in a sports academy called La Masia. That is the most expensive sports academy in Europe that uses 5 million pounds yearly to run it. view
• 7 May 2025 in Senate: I realised that that sports academy has produced one of the best players, that is, the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) called Lionel Messi. According to me, Yamal Lamine has outpaced Lionel Messi in terms of performance at the age of 17 years. I would have wished to see him in the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) finals. I hope Arsenal FC will not disappoint me when they play PSG today in the evening from 10.00 p.m. Kenyan time. For football lovers like me, most players we see playing go to sports academies, but the situation is different here. ... view
• 7 May 2025 in Senate: I thought Sen. Boni was still here. Kakamega and Vihiga counties produce the best footballers. In fact, we do not need a law for counties to get opportunities. view
• 7 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we like watching football. The other day when Shabana and Gor Mahia were playing, there was chaos in Gusii Stadium. There is a huge potential. view
• 7 May 2025 in Senate: It is sad that most of the talents we see during Kenya secondary school sports competitions disappear after Form Four. We need to tap that. The same case applies to music festivals. Where do top performers go after Form Four? There is one called Kibet and three others who were lucky to join a Spanish sports academy after secondary school sports competitions in Kakamega, but where do our young sports people go? view
• 7 May 2025 in Senate: Looking at the Senators seated here, some of them were great footballers during their time while some were athletes. However, since they did not have an opportunity to be professional sportsmen and women, they ended up in the Senate. The calling of some of these people here is totally different. view
• 7 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the issue of establishment of sports academies must be looked at. We need to ensure that counties set them up because sports are a function for both. view
• 7 May 2025 in Senate: I want to thank His Excellency the President. As I was driving along Ngong Road, I saw Talanta Sports City Stadium taking shape. Moi International Sports Complex Kasarani is also being renovated. The President has made a commitment that at least every county should have a stadium. view
• 7 May 2025 in Senate: I am happy that construction of Kinoru Stadium in Meru is going on. It needs to be upgraded to international standards. There is also another one in Nyeri. We also have Kiprugut Chumo Stadium in Kericho. view
• 7 May 2025 in Senate: We see our young people full of energy on social media. Most of the young people use their energy on social media to write unpalatable things. They can use the same energy to play football. view
