"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I am very proud today because Parliament is an institution which recognises athletes. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 43(1), I rise to make a Statement regarding the 2023 Special Olympics games held from 15th – 25th June 2023 in Berlin, Germany. The Special Olympics Games are international sporting events for participants with intellectual disability. It is, indeed, one of the world’s largest inclusive event that attracts thousands of athletes with intellectual disability every two years and an alternative between summer and winter games, a schedule similar to that of Olympics and Paralympics. The first Special Olympic World Games were held in 1968 in the United States of America (USA) under the patronage of Eunice Kennedy Shriver and the founder of the Special Olympics movement in the world. With respect to Africa, the first ever special Olympic Pan- African games were held in Cairo, Egypt, in 2020."
