    "content": "My message to all women and ladies across the country is that if you want the DNA of getting good athletes, you should visit Eldoret and get one with a brown jacket. I can imagine the combination of the DNA) from Kamba region and Kalenjin. I can tell you it will be one of the eight wonders of the world. So, it is a beautiful city. It is a city that is not dry or wet throughout the year. This is the city of champions. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to challenge the County Government of Uasin Gishu. Let us ensure the theme that they level up within the city. It is a city of sports. When a tourist who is keen on sports lands here at JKIA, that tourist will always know that he needs to travel to Eldoret City because the theme is sports. So, when you walk there, there are many things like the arboretum and museum. Madam Temporary Speaker, I expect the Uasin Gishu museum that we were told about is fast-tracked. Additionally, 80 per cent of the major museums should be about sports because Eldoret is synonymous as city of champions because of sports. Eldoret has a continuous supply of water from Chebara Dam. The Kipkaren Dam and Kesses Dam have ensured that Eldoret has sufficient water. The only thing I want to challenge the County Government of Uasin Gishu and the County Government of Elgeyo-Marakwet is that as a son of that region, to agree on the benefit that Chebara Community in Elgeyo-Marakwet will get from supplying water through Eldoret Water and Sanitation Company. So, as we build Two Rivers, Kipkaren dam and many others that will supply water to Eldoret City and even sanitation, they need to ensure corporate social responsibility to Chebara Community in Elgeyo-Marakwet County. The other reason we should give status to Uasin Gishu or Eldoret City is because the Fifth President of the Republic of Kenya, His Excellency (Dr.) William Ruto, comes from the region. It is partly to honour to him. It is not that Eldoret is special than other towns. Other towns like Vihiga and Luanda should be ready because we are expecting to see them grow to cities. Nonetheless, this a great honour because the Fifth President of the Republic of Kenya, His Excellency (Dr.) William Ruto comes from the region. I will also be organizing Kapsabet, and Sen. (Dr.) Oburu knows Kapsabet very well even more than me. We should also get a city status. However, I am happy because it is coming to my region. Apart from President William Ruto, yours truly comes from that region. In conclusion, the eighth reason is the issue of hospitals. Outside Nairobi City County where we have the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), we have Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) in Eldoret. There is an intention to expand it to 200 acres near the Eldoret Airport. Madam Temporary Speaker, can you believe Eldoret City has a health facility or hospital after every 100 meters? We have Top Hill, Reale, St. Luke, MTRH, Uasin Gishu District Hospital and many others. I know Sen. Maanzo knows this. When you go to India, there are cities that are only known because of the hospitals. Apart from Eldoret being an educational city, it can also be a hospital city. Outside Nairobi City County, there are so many hospitals in Eldoret. I do not think there is a town outside Nairobi City that has as many hospitals as Eldoret. MTRH is serving the entire Rift Valley and parts of Nyanza and Western regions. When I went to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
