    "content": "First, it is a good Bill in the sense that it is introducing some level of sanity in the management of sports in this country. It is also trying to address the sources of funds to fund our sporting activities. That notwithstanding, I also want to introduce some amendments because we do not want ambiguities where we leave the Fund in the hands of the board and a few managers so that they distribute the funds at their discretion. We need to have a structure that will address equity. We cannot have a board sitting and deciding which sporting activities to fund and which regions to take the funds to. We have had issues with trust funds. I have had issues with the Water Trust Fund in my constituency of Kinangop. We have the biggest water tower but we have never benefited from the Water Trust Fund. This is likely to happen if we leave this Fund at the discretion of the board to decide where and when to spend the money. So, we need to have a structure. I will definitely introduce some amendments to the Bill as opposed to opposing it in its entirety."
