    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just thought that this whole area is a complete ecosystem and the House could benefit from this background, but let me go straight to the Questions. As you have guided, Hon. Speaker, let me go to the Question on the Summer Special Olympic Games. I am pleased to provide a detailed report on Kenya’s participation in the 2023 Summer Olympic Games held in Berlin, Germany from June 17th to 25th 2023. The Games had a global participation of a total of 6,500 athletes from across the world representing 190 countries competing in 26 different disciplines. We had a whole contingent of 3,000 coaches and 18,000 volunteers at those Games. Team Kenya had a total of 66 athletes who were accompanied by 26 coaches and guides. These particular Games, Hon. Speaker, let me clarify, normally involve persons who are intellectually challenged,and therefore, I need to emphasise that even the accompanying delegation is normally a bit bigger than normal delegations because of extra- support needed to the team. The team departed on different dates between 10th, 11th and 16th of June 2023. The reason normally teams depart in batches is because the schedule is normally quite long and athletes prefer to arrive when their particular discipline is very close. Even the weather can affect the performance of athletes and so they depart in batches. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
