    "content": "or bendera to all the other medal holders. There will be a session when our sportsmen and women will hand over the flag to the leadership of this country. We can organise for that to take place at a place where we can all support them. So, His Excellency the President, the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister and all of us can have an opportunity to shake the hands of these ports men and women. We are also working on a lottery, so that we can raise funds. When it comes to this House, we will ask for your support. On the issue raised by Mr. Imanyara, we will discuss it further during that briefing session and even in the Cabinet. I thank hon. Affey for what he said. It is true that the people of the Rift Valley Province have done well. I thank you. We appreciate that. Mr. ole Metito has raised the issue of dual citizenship. I want to tell you that we were agonised in that place. Last year, Mr. Konchella wanted to come back. We asked Athletics Kenya to assist him to come back to Kenya. I do not know what happened, but I want to assure the House that we are working on receiving the athletes who want to come back home and compete for our country. Of course, we must have motivation. We must have support. We must give them support and recognise them as heroes. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on issue of dual citizenship, we felt very jealous when Konchella won the race, because, although he is a Kenyan, he was not running for Kenya. So, we will pursue the issue of dual citizenship in this respect as well as in respect of Kiplagat from the United States of America (USA). So, I want to appeal to hon. Members to do what Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry said: Let us support them right from the constituency level. I want to assure hon. Members that we, in the Ministry, will do our best to support our athletes in terms of getting for them"
