    "content": "the Chair, my Professor, Hon. Shollei, on the annulment and also Hon. Shamalla, who is a senior lawyer, for seconding. In addition to the reasons which have been advanced, we must go back to history. Social development is important. We also encourage the National Treasury to be consistent. I would like to meet their lawyer because many times it is being misadvised on many pieces of legislation. This is not an isolated case. What has happened in this particular matter is that they put the horse before the cart. First, they go and make the proposal to set up this fund ignoring the original Sports Act. I am very proud to say that when I worked for the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage I participated in drafting the Act and you know the many challenges which have been with raising funds for sports in the country. At that particular time, betting and control was specifically to raise money to develop sporting activities in the country. However, it has now involved other social activities including housing, which is very far from real sports such that if you do not concentrate on promoting sporting activities through betting and control, which is a sport in itself, then you divert to other matters which can be developed through a budget."
