Two Nyamira County MPs, Steve Mogaka of West Mugirango and Patrick Osero of Borabu, have pledged to utilize the NG-CDF to support sports development among the youth, aiming to tap into their untapped talents.
Speaking during the Inter-constituency football tournament held at Nyamira Primary, Mogaka and Osero, the legislators expressed regret over the lack of interest from leaders in nurturing these talents.
They urged school heads to compile lists of students identified with sports talents and submit them for consideration for free scholarships throughout their education.
Additionally, they announced plans to establish Sports Academies, providing comprehensive training for children to enhance their games and skills.
