"content": "Government. The Government is supposed to create an enabling environment, namely, a structure, give seed money, provide stadia and the infrastructure required and enact an enabling legislation. Then it is the captains of the industry to drive it forward. That is where we are going to go. On the issue of how people are recruited to Harambee Stars, this goes back to what I said that we must be able to recruit and develop talents. My Ministry has already started nine talent academies in the now defunct nine provinces. We have already started those talent academies that will work with the school programmes to catch up our youngsters and channel them to the national level. Of course, that means working with other stakeholders like the federations. Then the coaches and the technical bench will identify which people should play in the national team and also even represent the country in other sporting events. On issues of motivation, you are aware that next week, we will be returning almost four flags from our athletic teams that have been representing Kenya. In New Delhi, you are aware that we got over 12 Gold Medals. Our athletes in the marathon and our rugby team have been doing very well. So, on motivation, the Government has been giving some allowances. Even this time, we will be giving awards, depending on whether you got a gold, silver or bronze metal when we will be taking back the flags to the Head of State next week."
