Madam Deputy Speaker, in the same spirit, am I in order to request your office to give directions to the Clerk and the staff to do thorough orientation for Sen. Ngugi and to request Sen. Ngugi to take a break from his recent active political activities and take these lessons seriously to facilitate his participation in the House?

Madam Deputy Speaker, for the record, I am the captain of the Senate Football Team and the vice-captain of the Bunge Football Team . I take the sports sector very seriously. We have a problem in the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage and the management of sports in this country. The problem is in terms of where Kenya places sports. Even though we pay lip service by saying that we want to solve problems affecting the youth, we put little resources to the sports sector. From the statement that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. has come with, we would like ...

I request that we look at the question of building of the extra nine stadia in this country and consider the problem of Kamariny Stadium in Iten, which is used by more than 3,000 athletes to train. A contractor was given a little amount of money to start the project, which has since stalled. The place is now dilapidated; the athletes cannot train and the footballers cannot also play. Instead of focusing on providing the infrastructure for supporting sports, the Cabinet Secretary wants to interfere with sports in this country in a manner that is unacceptable. If the FKF will ...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. You are very kind. First, I would like to thank Sen. Cherargei for coming up with this Statement. Last week on Friday, Governor Sang, hon. Sudi and myself visited the family of Agnes Tirop at their home in Nandi County. It was a sad occasion. When this murder occurred, I was shocked because I know Iten to have been a peaceful town. The people of Iten recognise athletes. Iten is nothing without athletes. It is one of the towns that have been developed by the resources of our athletes running all over the world. Iten ...

is global. Domestic violence is worse when it comes to women who are the worst victims. There is a silent killer that we must say. There are people who are preying on our athletes. They know they have won gold medals in the world; like gone to New York marathon and won. They come and pretend to extending help to them and they end up having relationships, begin registering properties for these ladies, young girls aged 18 to 22 years in their own name. As the investigations go on, we are aware, as was said to the family to us, ...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. That is okay. In conclusion, I believe that we should not just stop at this stage of the Statement. Sen. Sakaja promised that his Committee will do something. I propose that they summon the Cabinet Secretary (CS) of Sports, Culture and Heritage suo moto, on their own Motion. Instead of waiting for them to submit a Bill or policy to this House, they can develop the Bill together with them. Let this Bill be tabled in the House before the end of the 12th Parliament. This is so that we can provide a structure of ...
