Once we have the sports facilities and developed camps, it will help our youth and give them an opportunity to change their lives. One of the things that worry me is that these young men and women do not even have financial management skills. If you are making a lot of money, you should be taught how to manage those resources. Athletics should not be like betting, where somebody wins US$1 million and afterwards we read that they are using a view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: . They have to be taught and the only way to ensure responsibility is by developing a legislation that supports the athletes. We need to tax them and, by doing so, we will be developing a pensions scheme for them. It is a bit hypocritical when we talk of developing a pension scheme, yet they make money and use it without saving for the future. We have the same problem worldwide when it comes to the issue of our military. We use them to protect us, but when they retire, we do not support them. view

• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not intend to derail any debate on this very important Bill. However, I seek your direction because I sit in the Committee on Energy and we have a report which we are about to table today. I wonder, for it to be able to enrich the debate, whether we can wait for this debate to---. This is very important because when you talk about public participation, we invite the public to share their views. These Senators, sitting here, representing 47 counties, it would be important for them to have ... view
