    "content": "we have not really treated our sportsmen and women right. You may want to know, Hon. Members, that the Ksh100 million Hon. Waluke refers to here was largely to clear outstanding awards going back to 2010. There are athletes who competed and represented this country from 2010 but not paid their awards. We cleared that entire backlog. For the first time in the history of this country, we were able to offer something to our legends. We honoured our legends who have competed for this country for the last 60 years. I believe it is a good way of spending money. Our sportsmen and women are the goose that lays the golden egg. We must acknowledge and reward them appropriately. We will continue to do this every single year through the Hongera Awards."
