Former Minister of Sport Kenneth Butcher says more has to be done to support sport in Trinidad and Tobago.
Speaking on the Power Breakfast Show this morning he explained real impact must come from the Government.
He said that there are several pillars that are needed for any country to be successful in the sporting arena.
He explained that these are necessary factors that must be adhered to for sport.
Mr Butcher disclosed that the Government provides a large percentage of the funding for sport in developing countries like Trinidad and Tobago.
He also said that Trinidad and Tobago must develop a culture of getting proper corporate sponsorship for sport locally.
He said that the Government should get involved by providing incentives for corporate sponsors to put the kind of money necessary into local athletes.
