Madam Temporary Speaker, I will leave it at that. I hope that this Bill passes because it has taken too long. This started in the National Assembly in 2019 and, actually, it was passed in November, 2021, and it has also stayed here. I hope we can expedite, so that we finish this Bill before the end of this Session. I thank you.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you so much. I am very grateful to Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. In her list, she has mentioned sporting greats who have made our country proud. I am grateful to her that this time she has mentioned the late Emily Ayoti Kubasu, my mother, who used to run for this country, short distances. She represented Kenya in the commonwealth games in 1971 and won medals; gold and silver. Amongst her contemporaries were Alice Adala, who is still alive, the sister to our President and the mother of Jomo Gichaga, Jane Makena, who is still alive and ...

The young people in Dandora and Embakasi North Constituencies need that facility. I am glad that they are engaging the contractor. We hope that it is completed in due time. I went there with Sen.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in a lot of the places in our city today, you find that our young people are idle and they have gone back to crime. In fact, I know some of the boys who were killed who used to play. There were ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we strangled and slaughtered the goose that lays the golden duck in the name of SportPesa. SportPesa was engaging so many of our teams and clubs. I remember AFC Leopards would get Kshs65 million that would cater for salaries and allowances . Gor Mahia too was getting. They were sponsoring the League. However, because of a dispute, that is no longer happening. So, we need to be pragmatic when we balance, whether it is tax interest with actual companies and private sector that are helping our sporting teams. So, I thank Senator (Dr.) Musuruve. I think ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is a huge issue around insurance. I have been talking to Passenger Service Vehicle (PSV) operators in Nairobi and recently, I talked to Mrs. Mary Mwangi of Double M buses. The woes that are facing that sector are critical. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, professionally, I understand insurance very well. It speaks to many issues including the kind of actuarial valuations being done for the premiums to be set because people are looking just for business, yet they are unable to properly underwrite a lot of this. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, of course, I have heard ...
