    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I meant is: Why should such people stay in office for so long when we can inject new blood so that we have more progress and enhance sports in this country? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government should use the upcoming Mashujaa Day to award our athletes – we will talk about some of the awards in this Senate – and recognise them for the good work they did in Beijing. I know that there are many private schools. However, I will be happy to see the establishment of a training school funded by the Government for our upcoming young athletes so that we not only have athletes from one region but also from other regions being trained and learn sports, so that they also bring glory to this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to conclude by supporting the person who said that Kenya is a hotbed of champions. Indeed, it is so. I have a quote here by the Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga that was in the social media which I thought was very interesting. I would like to read it. “I offer my congratulations to Team Kenya for the remarkable run that has seen our nation open a new chapter in athletics history books by emerging on top of the world. There is no prouder moment to be a Kenyan.” I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, and beg to support."
