    "content": "We look forward to the new regulations which will be made after this Bill becomes law. We want to tie this Bill with the other laws like the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, so that it is within the control of the National Treasury. The Principal Secretary in charge of Sports will be squarely responsible for the monies they would get and can account for them. We must support this great initiative as a country and take it as a new way of rejuvenating sports in the country. We should make sure that we have many Marigas outside there who make a lot of money and send it back home. We should also make sure that we win the Olympics because we have the talents. We have only invested in athletics but not in all the other fields, which need facilities and trainers. Even a simple sport like beach volleyball is an Olympic sport. Those are gold medals we lose in the Olympics. That is how the United States of America (USA) beats us. They field many disciplines which are gold-medal winning. We do very well. Kenya ranges up to No. 3 worldwide. If we invest properly in sports through the amendment of the Sports Act, we will beat USA in the Olympics. I believe it can happen. We only need to reorganise so that we have proper regulations. When the monies are collected, they should be used properly so that the sporting fraternity does not have to rely on the National Treasury always."
