    "content": "I propose that this Fund should be devolved or equitably distributed through constituencies so that the board is not left with the luxury of deciding how they dispense the money. If it is distributed through the constituencies, we will be able to nurture the talents we see every day in our constituencies. As Members of Parliament, we spend a lot of money from our pockets in trying to nurture the upcoming talented young men and women. We have to get to a level where the Government invests money in sporting activities. It should be seen as an investment so that we commercialise the talents and make sure our young men and women, once they are showcased to the world and earn income, pay back the country through taxes or through the jackpots they bring home. We should introduce some level of taxation so that they also pay back the country that supports them."
