    "content": "is a good cash crop like any other from Meru County, Tigania East, where I come from. We support it. There are a few things I want to say about this Motion. I have noted with a lot of concern that every career has a training. For people who train to be doctors, there are big schools of medicine which have been set up to train them. When I take management as a career, there are so many schools which have been set aside to train students of management. When we talk about people who are training to be teachers, there are many universities and tertiary colleges which have been set aside to train teachers. Sports has proved to be a stronger career than any other in this country. Because we measure the strengths of careers by what we get out of them, sports have proven to bring more income than any other career. So, I ask myself why not? It is a brilliant move for this country to set up training centres in every constituency. During my life in school, I used to be a bright student. Above all, I used to be a great footballer. I used to be a striker but teachers kept on telling me, “You need to become an engineer. You need to become a doctor”. They encouraged me so much to become what I am; to take academics more seriously than sports. If I had somebody to train and guide me through the way of footballing, I could have been a great man today – like the great African footballer by the name of Didier Drogba, who is my age mate. That is if I had somebody to train and guide me. Today I want to support the Motion that we have the training centers set up. Above all, we should come up with proper legislation so that even the money set aside to support those centers can be well managed. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
