"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to congratulate the great men and women of this country who have brought us pride and glory. As we congratulate them, I wish to take this opportunity to thank, particularly, the people of Rift Valley, for giving us all those medals and for raising the flag of Kenya very high. This is a rare achievement. We have been consistent in that achievement for many years. What we have not been very consistent on are the results of the performance by the Government. In terms of allocating resources to that sector in our country--- If the South Africa team, with only two medals, was met by the President, himself â of course, one of the medals has some dispute--- Yet, we have a President, Vice-President and Prime Minister and none of them was able to receive those great men and women at the airport. I find it completely disappointing and I want to encourage them. As we go out to congratulate those Kenyans, I would like the Minister--- She has been very good. I think we need to congratulate her. Can she increase the resources in terms of even basic items like flags, uniforms and the facilities that are required. She should try and see whether she can allocate more resources because what we saw is like we were expecting only one gold. We had only one flag. What silver and bronze medalists? They had no national flag to carry around the stadium. I congratulate them for a job well done."
