    "content": "allow talented athletes at least to be discovered early, professionally and be given better career pathways. In universities, you realize, even in sports, you find our young people who are in international universities find themselves getting scholarships. Just the other day, my daughter told me that she got a scholarship for her master's degree, so we do not have to pay her fees, just because she got involved in some curriculum activities and sports. Even the club that I was playing for, Barclays Bank, created space for young people to get jobs and so many of us were employed by the Barclays Bank. I feel that this is a good Bill and those amendments should be done as soon as possible, so that it can pave way. The Bill is also going to pave way for equal access to opportunities for all counties. Even the marginalized would have formal structures. So, this means that someone from north eastern will have the same support system as a person in Nairobi. Also, the structured education and dual careers that the academies will integrate academic education with sports training, helping young athletes to develop both skills and academic qualifications. I talked about job creation. It shall definitely create local employment and economic activities for our children. Also, it is going to improve local and international sports careers for our children. Sen. Nyamu has named a few, those who started with Mathare Sports; they were quite talented and most of them moved to greater places. So, it will create a stronger grassroots system that would eventually improve the performance of Kenyans in a wider range of sports internationally for our athletes. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have done enough justice to this one. I hope that my colleagues were here to hear our amendments and to take them into consideration, so that at least it will nurture our young people. I support the Bill."
