(No. B/326) Dr. Ms R. Daureeawo (Third Member for Rivière des Anguilles & Souillac) asked the Minister of Youth and Sports whether, in regard to the MUGA sports facility in Tyack, he will, for the benefit of the House, obtain information as to the amount of funds – (a) invested for the acquisition of gym equipment and the setting up of the synthetic football pitch thereat, and (b) collected from the hourly fee claimed from the users thereof, indicating how the fees collected by the Mauritius Sports Council are spent.
Reply: As regard to part (a) of the question, I am informed that the Mauritius Telecom Foundation has invested around Rs2.4 million for the provision of gym equipment and synthetic grass for the football pitch. As regard to part (b) of the question, I am further informed by the Mauritius Sports Council that the official handing over exercise of the MUGA Tyack from the Mauritius Telecom Foundation has not yet taken place to date, and thus, the question of fees collected by the Council does not arise.
