    "content": "My apologies Madam Deputy Speaker, I thought this Statement was coming up tomorrow or on Tuesday. However, thank you for this opportunity. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 48(1) to request for a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, regarding the performance of Kenya National Athletics Team to the Tokyo Olympics 2021 in Japan and the mismanagement of athletes by the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage, Athletics Kenya and the National Olympics Committee of Kenya (NOCK). I hope the Chairperson, Sen. Sakaja is listening. In the Statement, the Committee should- (i) State the reasons for the dismal performance by the Kenyan national team to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics in both track and field events, including a historic loss of the steeplechase race; an event that Kenya has consistently won in Olympics and other major races since 1963; (ii) Explain the selection criteria of athletes, sports and Government officials who accompanied the team to Japan, shedding light on the preparations that the athletes went through; (iii) Reveal the terms of engagement between the public and private media and the Ministry of Sports, detailing the allowances paid and expenses incurred to facilitate the media and editors to cover the Olympics;"
