    "content": "Young people in Masinga Constituency are so talented but they only practise when they are in school. Once they finish Form Four, they put their talents in their boxes. That is the end of the story. There are so many youths who have so many medals because they are talented. If they can be nurtured continuously, they can become good athletes and footballers who can earn a living. I tried to nurture some youths but I did not go very far because of little resources. If the Government can help us by establishing sports academies, we will go down in the history of this country as the Parliament which cared for young people in terms of nurturing their sporting talents. We are spending so much money by paying their bursaries in learning institutions but nothing is done as far as their talents are concerned. Therefore, I urge Members to support this Motion by Hon. Osotsi, so that we can allocate funds to build sports academies. We will take idle and miraa -chewing youth from the market places to the sport academies and have them trained. They will be busy at the sports academies practising."
