"content": "opportunities available. We have signed a deal with the National Basketball Association (NBA). I was in New York with His Excellency the President last year to sign a deal with NBA to develop basketball, right from the school ecosystem. That is an opportunity for our young people. We have signed a deal with the Invention Studios of Hollywood to promote the film industry. We have also signed with the Grammies to promote music. We have expanded that space. We have brought in the corporate sector. And for the first time, we have put in incentives framework to encourage corporates to put money in this space. We now have a system with Treasury for tax rebates; for every shilling you put in, you get a certain tax break under that framework to expand that space. I believe that is a matter that is very much on track. Hon. Speaker, on the question of how the Ministry intends to roll out the Talanta Hela Initiative, I want to state the Initiative is already up and running. We launched it last year, but it was already rolling. This year, the Initiative is going to be much broader and the plan is to involve other sporting disciplines and bring in creatives like music, film theatre and other segments of the Initiative. The initial one was very successful because it brought together thousands of young people into talent camps. It was what resulted in the talent pool that I am so proud to mention here. It is a programme that is running and I assure the House that it can only get better."

This is going to include upgrading the Talanta Hela Digital Hub into Talanta TV for purposes of promoting content from the sporting arena and the creatives. It is going to find a vibrant space that is also Intellectual Property (IP) protected within that ecosystem of the Talanta Hela Digital Hub, which is up and running. I want to request the Members to take time and visit the Talanta Digital Hub at the Kenya Academy of Sports at Kasarani. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

We do not even know the constituencies that are in the first wave of 45, and those that are not."

Could I be in order to ask the Cabinet Secretary why Narok, particularly Kilgoris, has been given a blackout yet we have been producing the highest number of talents in the region? We have the two Rudishas, Ole Marai and many others. Hon. Speaker, allow me to ask another question because mine are brief. Cabinet Secretary, if you are nurturing talents, is it possible for the Government to consider athletics as one of the possible qualifications to be recruited in the Army notwithstanding the fact the athletes may not have gone up to Form Four? Many of our athletes are talented in running but when they go for interviews for police or army jobs, they do not get them because they lack Form Four certificates. Can you use the whole Government approach to persuade your colleagues that a talent is enough competency to take one to the armed forces?"
