    "content": "So, I think it will be a fair way for us that everybody goes into elections and fights for his position. Then, 21 days after the general elections and based on party strength, the party can decide so-and-so is a useful person representing this-and-that interest and can be nominated. To me this is a good amendment and should be supported. Just on the same breath, Kenya and the world has just concluded the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Unfortunately, I have not seen our athletes being welcomed with pomp. They have done well, especially Eliud Kipchoge who has set a world record for winning the marathon twice, back to back. He can only be compared with two other legends. This is a legend for us. I think those who are in the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage are embarrassing our country. I just came from home where I was watching television. In my place we get the signal of NTV Uganda. I was watching what was happening on the Ugandan side. They also got gold medals. President Museveni feted them with vehicles and other things and they were being welcomed with pomp and everything. So, why are we behaving the way we are? I think our Ministry of Sports needs to wake up. The athletes have done us proud and we should be proud of our achievement. Being number 19 in the whole world is not a small achievement. We should be able to welcome our athletes in a special way."
