    "content": "There is also the other issue of sports items and equipment. Most of our youth are unemployed. They are idle in the villages. We need to encourage them to go in that direction of sports. We need to encourage them to participate in athletics, football and all the other sports so that they can earn some income from them and also to reduce the level of idleness. When we go to the villages these days our youth are really exposed to alcoholism. They are taking lots of alcohol because of frustration. So, we must think of ways of ensuring that they are engaged and the best way is ensuring that these items that are related to sports are affordable. I would have wished other items which were in the VAT Act to have been taken care of to ensure that the cost of living is reduced but we understand that everybody is expecting money from this Government. The county governments are demanding money. Everyone is demanding for good roads, health centres, good hospitals and electricity. Where will the money come from? So, we must refine the laws which we have which are related to finance. I support this Bill."
