On October 17, 2019, a proposal to construct a state-of-the-art gym within the Busia County assembly precincts gained momentum after the county assembly members unanimously passed the Culture and Sports Committee report.
The gym, valued at Sh3 million, is intended for the exclusive use of the MCAs and assembly staff.
Deputy Speaker Lawrence Okaale emphasized the importance of the gym, stating, "Establishment of a gym within the assembly will help members keep fit and avoid contracting non-communicable diseases."
Nominated MCA Florence Ologi and her counterpart Nancy Okademi also expressed support for the proposal, citing its potential benefits for the Busia Assembly team during inter-county games.
Speaker Bernard Wamalwa gave the ad hoc committee until February 2020 to table the report for implementation by the house.
