    "content": "In line with this allow me to congratulate the team from Senegal in Africa for performing outstandingly well against Poland. You realise that one of the reasons why the European nations do so well in the World Cup is because they have sports academies. They nurture talents from a very tender age, this helps people to realise their talents very early. You can see this from the results at the World Cup. I believe we should establish sports academies in all our constituencies. The pilot one should start in my constituency because it is cosmopolitan and we have all sorts of talents like athletes and footballers. I know most Members here are always caught in a situation where the young people ask them to support their sporting activities and tournaments. I have spent many years supporting youth projects and sports tournaments. I believe this is going to be a relief to us. We should not just talk about sports academies but we should equip them well, so we can nurture talents. You realise that when you go home and you find an idle population of young people, they are basically doing betting. Others are involved in gambling activities. Some play this pool table sports. The result of betting is, in some cases, even death. This is because people bet and when they lose they start fighting. So, it is paramount that we put these youth under some controlled talent development mechanism and a sports academy is crucial. In fact, it is something that should have been included in the last Budget. These things must be supported budget-wise so that this money we waste in Uwezo Fund and the rest… Some youths are really not entrepreneurs. They are just very good in some areas and we just need to support their talents."
