    "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."
