    "content": "validated the first grand slam in history for our nation on the world circuit. Our athletes have won all six events on the programme in 2022. Evans Chebet, who won in Boston, took two of them as Eliud Kipchoge, the renowned legend who comes from my county, won six in Tokyo and Berlin, on 25th September. Amos Kipruto, who also comes from my County, won in London on 2nd October and Benson Kipruto won in Chicago on 9th October, to complete an outstanding performance. This is not a mean achievement by these athletes that they have won almost all the six events against what had been organized in the calendar of 2022. In conclusion, I wish to continue calling upon the Government, to use the upcoming and promising athletes as brand ambassadors, issue them with diplomatic passports and ensure their finances and rewards are proper, well-structured and not taxed, to enable them grow and remain motivated at all times. In Uganda, when you win, they give you a car, build your parents a house and welcome you in a grand manner. If you are single, the Ugandan Government goes ahead to provide a wife or girlfriend for you. On behalf of the great people of Nandi County, the source of champions, where Evans Chebet, Eliud Kipchoge, Amos Kipruto and other collegiate of athlete’s train, I wish to congratulate them on this achievement of winning the six marathons. I wish them well and assure them of my commitment and that of the Parliament at all times as they continue with their career. As the issue of doping continues to rear its ugly head, the solution is not only banning the athletes. We must go for the medics and suspend their licenses---"
