    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I had an opportunity to be a secretary to the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports in the year 2008. We had successful olympics then as a country. When I was in that office, we laid down the law to help the youngsters who participate in this country. Eventually, we came up with a way of fundraising so that those who retire and are not active can get assisted. Extreme sports, especially boxing severely affects sportsmen very much. So, their later years are riddled with a lot of misery and bad health. There must be a system of making sure that retired or active sports people who bring a lot of glory to the country do not end up in misery and disgrace. On this particular one, it is very sad that during holidays, the President does not honour sportsmen. They are not even proposed to be honoured by the President. However, the sports managers want to be top of that list. We must change our attitude towards our heroes. They have built our economy and tourism. We condole with the family of Mr. Waruinge and wish them well. We, as a country, must implement the policies and the laws that we have already made because they are enough to take care of our sportsmen. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
