    "content": "Another amendment which I am looking at relates to sports. If you want to make us a sports nation, please, exempt everything in sports, so that those who bring sports items are allowed to bring them and then we shall be a sporting nation. You cannot say that somebody who goes overseas can come with sports items duty free. How do you value the items that somebody brings which are not for sale? That is what the clause provides. If an athlete has gone overseas and has come with 100 balls, how do you know that he is not going to sell them? If he has come with 200 sports kitty, how do you know he is not going to sell them? Then, what is the procedure of approving? One has to write a letter to the Ministry of Sports, the Ministry then writes to the Treasury and the Treasury writes to the KRA for you to have the goods released. We are just creating another cartel of business people and it will be unfair for those who are doing fair trade to be subject to pay duty and then another group in the name of promoting sports in this country is licensed to bring sports equipment without paying any levy or duty.
