    "content": " Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. I come from Rift Valley where the only “cash crop” we have is sports. Therefore, this one is very important for our region. Hon. Mbadi does not have to tell me not to contribute. This is because when we bring issues of Lake Victoria and fish, I will not deny him the chance to contribute. However, I would like us, as we move forward, to make sure that our youths get an opportunity to participate in the only “cash crop” that they have. Hon. Speaker, we have to give the youth an opportunity. We realise that there are also sports for Persons Living with Disability (PLWDs). This country has not invested much in the sporting events of PLWDs. When PLWDs win goals outside there, it is the flag of Kenya that flies high. However, when that happens, rarely do we have leaders appreciating them. I urge you as the third-most-powerful person in this country, next time we have sporting events of PLWDs such as the Paralympics, when they come back, please, be at the airport to receive them. This is because they have never been received even by a chief."
