    "content": "I have two comments. First, I urge the Cabinet Secretary to have that desk in his office within the Ministry for the young athletes. Sometimes, they get invitations to go and run out of the country, but it takes time for them to get the passports. It is important that you set up a small desk between yourselves and Athletes Kenya (AK) to help. This is so that they do not miss an opportunity to go and show the talent and make money. It is important you have that desk to assist even if they do not have money. Sometimes, as leaders from those regions, we contribute money to give them money for processing passports. I hope the new fees that were proposed by the Cabinet Secretary, Hon. (Prof.) Kithure Kindiki, will not be implemented and that we revert to the old rates because of our youth. Secondly, I would like the Cabinet Secretary to tell us the plans he has for the athletes who run outside the country, get tokens and make some money, but they do not have knowledge in terms of investment. The Ministry, in conjunction with the county governments, should assist. They can collaborate with local universities and colleges around the region, so that they can impart knowledge in terms of investments and entrepreneurship to the athletes. This is a seasonal talent. By the time you are 38 or 40 years and you get an injury, it becomes the end of you in nurturing that talent. What plans do you have to impart knowledge so that they can invest and have quality life after retiring?"
