    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to join my colleagues in sending my condolences to the family of the fallen hero. Ms. Agnes Tirop was a young and promising athlete. It is unfortunate that her life has ended under very mysterious circumstances. That explains the type of families that we have and the integration that we have in our families. This also goes to the type of education system that we have in our families and the country at large. Most of our people do not get enough mentorship as well as ways of empowerment and capacity. I am not blaming or threatening any athlete but the kind of things that are happening in this country are not good. There are many cases of domestic and gender based violence; husbands killing wives, wives killing husbands, mothers killing their children and such other vices. That shows that we have a very big problem as a country that we should address. We must go back to the basics and consider the values that we have as a nation. We have put money and wealth ahead of ourselves. Even we, politician, run our affairs in a manner to suggest that we do not put our people and our country at heart. What drives us is the amount of money that we can get and all that we can get out of whatever we do. Madam Deputy Speaker, I insist that we should go back to the basics and look at the way we run our families, the values and virtues that we have as well as consider what we are passing to our children. Parents are spending very little time with children. There is no mentorship, encouraging and giving way forward to the children. We should put a system to manage our sports men and women. We should not be a country that is always chasing after the wind; we should not start blame game once something has happened. This is not a matter that we can blame the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage only. We must put in place systems that help our sports men and women."
