Mumias East MP Launches PK Salasya Classic Cup
Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya has launched the PK Salasya Classic Cup at KMTC Grounds Shianda.
Speaking during the event the area Member of Parliament said the tournament will help to nature untapped talents and also make youths productive during this long holiday season.
“Today I have launched the PK Salasya Classic Cup tournament which is meant to nurture untapped talents among the youths in my Constituency,” said the Mumias East MP during the launch.
He noted that the knockout stages are going on and the finals will be played on 1st January 2023.
“I also want youths to engage themselves in a constructive activity which will prevent them from indulging in drug abuse and criminal activities and as you know an idle mind is the devil’s workshop,” he added.
He called on the CS Sports Ababu Namwambu to remove the charges by KFF on those organizing local tournaments saying those are hindrances to tapping talents in the grassroots.
“It is sad that if youths want to organize a tournament thye are charged Sh 50,000 by KFF and also pay for those officiating the matches, how will the talents from the grassroots be tapped if we have such charges? CS Namwamba intervene by doing away with the charges,|” he added.
He said if the CS is serious about reviving Harambee stars football team he should
look for young talents at the grassroots.
The Mumias East MP also called upon the government to disburse the CDF funds with immediate effect for them to finish the pending projects.
