    "content": "you can get 5,000 or 10,000 acres and turn it into a sports village with every facility in it. People coming from outside to practise with our boys and girls must be made to pay for it. If we went that way, we will reach a stage where we are also making money from other means rather than just relying on the traditional things. I thought that is what devolution was meant to do, so that every region can utilise its natural resource to the maximum. The natural resource in the North Rift is mainly athletics. This is a challenge I will throw to them. Time has come, let them put their act together and let us see if they can come up with something in the region of an Olympic Village. Let me talk about counties. I will go back there briefly. The Fourth Schedule to the Constitution talks about sports infrastructure being a function of the county governments. I do not know what the Committee is going to do, but when we talk about infrastructure we are talking about stadiums and the rest. So, I will throw this ball back to the Committee and see if there is a way of incorporating counties in this so that we can have a contribution as to what they can do. Otherwise, wholeheartedly I support this Bill. Let us hope that we come up with meaningful slight changes here and there during the Third Reading. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
