    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for your kind consideration. I take the cue in supporting my good friend, Gideon Keter, for floating this good Motion. Like many sports, rugby is liked by young boys and girls, who are the majority of our population. However, the way it is managed has left a lot to be desired. Only a few youths from privileged families are able to pursue this sport beyond the normal practice or exercises that they are used to doing. I believe that like many other sporting activities, much emphasis should be put in the development and management of rugby more so through the sporting activities. The ministry concerned or the Rugby Association of Kenya should make the game more attractive to the young boys. We are at a time when the country needs a lot of income from various activities. The sport is not being managed well. I believe that the collapse of agriculture is intentional. Some people in the Government wanted agriculture to collapse so that they could make money out of illicit imports, as is the case today. Those who are concerned with the management of sports in the various departments should put more emphasis and ensure that those sports are well managed. Players or participants should be treated well such that when they go out, they carry their dignity with them and come back with it. They should be helped to invest the monies accrued from sports. Every now and then, people who have excelled in sports and cut out a good image for themselves at the global level ended up coming back to the country suffering and just resorting to drinking. So, I want to assure my good friend, Hon. Keter that we will support this Motion to the hilt. That is in the best interest of the youth and the population of this country. Thank you very much. I support."
