    "content": "The funding for this Fund will come from gaming and betting. This means that we will have a sure way of financing this Fund. It means we will not have bottlenecks in the funding of sporting activities in this country. We have many tournaments in this country because there are so many organisers of big tournaments who are willing to come to this country. However, they cannot come because the facilities are in sorry state. You remember the case of the Confederation of East and Central Africa Football Association (CECAFA) tournament that was to be held in Kenya. Unfortunately, our stadia were not ready. It was cancelled in the last minute and the opportunity went to another African country. This made the country lose huge amounts of income. If you move across most constituencies, you will find young boys and girls playing in open fields that are not developed. In most areas, there are no places which are designated as sports fields where people can go, play and practise their games. I support this piece of legislation because it will resolve a lot of problems that we have in the sports sector in this country."
