    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I want to comment on the Petition you earlier read on sports. In the Petition dance is mentioned as a sporting event. You know I had become very famous courtesy of Jerusalema Dance. It was the only and the first time I ever won a competition with a presidential candidate called J.N. Muturi. I am blessed with four legs but, Hon. Speaker, you only have two. So, it was like a Prado competing with a bicycle. When it comes to sports, Kenyans are very dormant. Health wise, Dr. Pukose and Dr. Nikole my seniors will explain that Kenyans do not exercise. Exercise keeps the doctors away like the proverbial apple. More importantly, on sports for persons with disabilities, as a country, we need to be very vigilant in making sure that persons with disabilities participate in sports. Next month we will be in Tokyo for Paralympics, but nobody will be interested in Paralympians yet they win gold and no medal is disabled. When the Olympians win gold and other medals, we celebrate them, but do we celebrate Persons with Disabilities (PWDs)? I remember when we were in Rio 2016 Olympics, Paralympians won six medals out of nine athletes. The normal Olympians won 14 medals out of 78 athletes. That means that ours was 70 per cent while theirs was 14 per cent but, the normal Olympians were celebrated more than Paralympians. This time round, they are going to Tokyo for Paralympics led by Ms. Agnes Oluoch and Mr. Elijah Aliero. Hon. Speaker, when they come back, please, be the one to receive them as a presidential candidate. I do support that Petition."
