    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Report by the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare in the issue of the Dandora Stadium. Since Sen. Sakaja wants to become the Governor of Nairobi City County. I hope that he will follow through with it because our term is coming to an end in the next few months. Madam Deputy Speaker, where you and I come from, apart from agriculture, sports is one of our core businesses. The investments you see in many of our towns like Kapsabet, Nandi Hills, Mosoriot, Eldoret, Ziwa, Kitale, Nakuru and even here in Nairobi are because of our many young men and women who braved the chilly weather every morning from three 3.00 a.m. to train to become the world beaters that they are. One of the track legends and marathon maestro, Eliud Kipchoge, is a celebrated icon, not only in Kenya, but across the globe. He is a representative of the United Nations (UN) on issues of climate. I saw him speaking on issues of climate during the Glasgow Climate Summit. There are people like Conseslus Kipruto, Moses Kiptanui, the late slain Agnes Tirop, Janeth Jepkosgei, Rita Jeptoo, the late Samwel Wanjiru, David Rudisha and many others. For us who come from the North Rift region, one of our core businesses is sports, majorly athletics. When you go to Western Kenya, most of their young people play football. A number of them like Denis Oliech, Victor Wanyama and many others have played from the local leagues to the international leagues. Madam Deputy Speaker, as I speak today, there is no proper infrastructural support to ensure that we nurture these talents. Most of these people are almost knocked by motor bikes on the rural roads in the villages as they run in the morning. Tracks in"
