    "content": "athletes in the 1,500 metres race, breaking the world record which has been elusive and missing in her career. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kipyegon’s journey to the top is like a fairy tale, having started with a sweep of the world under-18 and under-20 titles in 2011 and 2012, respectively and 17 Diamond League victories since her debut in the League in 2015. With her latest results, she has become the greatest woman runner of all time in the 1,500 metres race in Kenya and the world. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also wish to congratulate Ferdinand Omanyala, the fastest man in Africa for finishing second at the same Diamond League in Florence by clocking 10.05 seconds. This superb performance by our athletes has shown our upcoming athletes that through determination and hard work, everything is possible and that more world records are coming our way. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I continue to call on our athletes to remain clean and dedicated in their careers by avoiding the doping menace that has ended careers and dented the image of many athletes and the country at large. I also call upon the Government, Athletics Kenya (AK) and the National Olympics Committee of Kenya (NOCK) to engage these upcoming and promising athletes as Kenya’s brand ambassadors in sports, tourism and in marketing Kenya abroad. Issue them with diplomatic passports and ensure that their finances and rewards are proper and well-structured to keep them motivated at all times. Finally, on behalf of the great people of Nandi, the Source of Champions, I wish to congratulate our own Ms. Faith Kipyegon, Ferdinand Omanyala and all our athletes and wish them well, assuring them of my commitment and support at all times as they continue representing of our nation. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
