The anti doping Bill will be in place before April 4, National Assembly's Labour Committee members have said.
The lawmakers are optimistic the draft Bill sponsored by two time Boston Marathon and Cherengany Member of Parliament Wesley Korir will see light of day following intense pressure from stakeholders.
They say the Bill will push for the stakeholder participation to have a document for posterity and transcends the April 5t deadline set by the World Anti Doping Agency (Wada).
The
Cherengany Mp says if passed, assented by President Uhuru Kenyatta and ratified by Wada, the bill will enact tough penalties for doping offenders.
The Bill proposes a jail term of up to five years and a fine of up to Sh2million or both.
"I am a happy man today, my day has come to pass because of this piece of legislation," Mp Wesley Korir said.
"Key among the legislation is it proposes forfeiture of assets accumulated by the athletes over the period of cheating,"Korir added.
"What we are doing is resolve the doping problem through an act of Parliament," Kipipiri Mp Samuel Gichigi said.
Kabondo Kasipul Mp Silvance Osele said the new law if enacted will ensure the national government allocates resources to the Anti Doping Agency directly.
The lawmakers also took issue with the Hassan Wario led sports ministry for misleading the house about the urgency of the anti doping legislation.
"The bill will ensure the Anti doping agency of Kenya will receive funding from the exchequer and will have the legal backing to wage war on the doping menace," Osele said.
In a related development Wada president Craig Reedie said he would be surprised if Kenyan athletes were missing from this year's Olympic Games, saying it would be a blow to the African nation's pride.
"I would be very surprised that Kenyan politicians didn't do everything they could to make sure their wonderful athletes do make it to the Olympics Games," Reedie told reporters on Wednesday.
"It's the pride of the country in many ways."
Reedie said it had been a frustrating process trying to make Kenya, 40 of whose athletes have been banned for doping in the last three years, become Wada compliant.
"I saw the Kenyan sports minister looking at the developing Qatar (anti-doping) lab two years ago and he promised me there would be the national anti-doping lab would be up and running in 14 months. Here we are two years later," he said.
Dick Pound, chair of the investigation that led to an ongoing ban for Russian track and field athletes from Rio, was cautiously optimistic that Kenya would not find itself in the same boat as the European powerhouse.
"Kenya are at least getting to the point where the legislation (for the anti-doping lab) will be in place some time in the next 10 days," he told Reuters.
"Some people might say that before we give a green light to Kenya they will want to have people on the ground to see what's actually going on. Hopefully, when they see the number one sport in the number one country (Russia) has not been spared any compliance within the rules, others will say, come on, let's get compliant."
