awarded the Laureus Sports Academy of Excellence Achievement. I want to be counted as one of those who have congratulated him. May I also take this opportunity to congratulate a team of young girls under 16 from Moi Nangili Girls’ School in my constituency who won the football competition that brought together all the young under 16 in Kenya. They even went to East and Central Africa and they also won. So, I take this opportunity to congratulate.

you can get 5,000 or 10,000 acres and turn it into a sports village with every facility in it. People coming from outside to practise with our boys and girls must be made to pay for it.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. May I also start by thanking the Chairman of the Committee.

But let me thank him. Much of what he has said about Nairobi County is similar to what happens in Likuyani Constituency. Before I go into the substantial points of my contribution and because you have given me a chance to talk, I am sure the whole country is listening, may I congratulate our girls who play football in this country.
