    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to join my colleagues in supporting this Report. I am happy that the Chair is back because important issues were being raised on the Floor and I did not see any Member of the Committee noting them down. This Report is timely. I am sure you are aware that Parliament approved the Sports, Arts and Social Development Fund. That Fund is well resourced because the money from gaming and gambling goes in there. As Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, together with Hon. Sakwa, we have been pushing for an accountability framework because that is money that is not in the mainstream of the Government account. With what is happening in this country, that money can be easily misdirected. As we discuss the issues of stadia, I want to ask the Chair of the Committee not to lose track of that Fund. That Fund can help with the establishment of stadia in different parts of the country as suggested by Members. Looking at the Report, there is the issue of value for money and I am sure that is what the Committee went to investigate. Any time I look at some of the Reports that have been tabled in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
