    "content": "It was clear that as a result of the kind of work arrangement between Ministries, in a number of cases, it appeared to be laxity in terms of how to address issues. We did not have the kind of engagement that we would require. It was clear, even as we toured that stadium, that if you were looking to see the progress, which progress we have captured in the Report, you would find a common practice where you would get architectural and structural drawings and an indication of percentages that could be matched by the very purpose of visiting the fields. This did not seem to be at the level that we would expect. Therefore, as I support this Report, I would want to confirm to Members, even as I appreciate their observations that, indeed, it is necessary that we are much more vigilant and that the key focus should be how to ensure that intentions and programmes are translated into actual practice. When we are dealing with sports and how to ensure that our youth are actively engaged, it is important that we not only complete the stadia, but also ensure that there are more transparent mechanisms of following up to see where the resources have been committed. I would also urge that the budgetary allocations to this project would be commensurate to the potential and kind of changes that sports can bring to the quality of life of our citizens. With those remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support and thank you."
