    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the Statement by the Deputy Speaker. I would like to inform the relevant Committee in charge of sports that in the county where I come from, warriors have excellent talents. We have persuaded them to go to church. They have reformed from killing people, raiding livestock and killing women on the highway. Instead of them running fast with cattle and camels, we urge the Government through the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage to include these people in athletics. They will be swift runners in 100 metres. We will thus have many gold medals in this nation instead of them raiding other people’s livestock. Moreover, it is also a concern that most of these marginalized people do not even know what is happening in the nation. They are not aware of sports opportunities. They also do not know people who should promote athletics and sports. They are only busy herding. It is a high time this House took time to educate these people on the right things to do. For example, in Turkana County, they can scheme and plan for sports either quarterly or annually to encourage these people to come and participate in sports and athletics. I am sure that we will have wonderful sportsmen and women while reducing the killing and rape incidents on highways. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge and request the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare to consider the reformed warriors to be people who are supposed to assist this nation in athletics. Moreover, I would also like to inform Sen. Cherarkey that there are youth in Turkana County that are very good athletes but their names have been changed from Turkana to Nandi names."
