    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to join my colleagues in sending a message of condolences to the family of our athlete, the late Kelvin Kiptum. Hon. Speaker, this is a very sad moment for our country and for a young man at the age of 24 losing his life before his prime. What I would urge the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports to do, is that we need to have a culture or a format in which we are able to counsel our athletes. We should make sure that we advise them once they qualify to become good athletes. They can be guided so that they live in a better way. Sometimes, you look at some of the athletes who have made this country great, but their lifestyles later after many years of doing very well, making a lot of money for themselves and the country, end up in a miserable state. We need to guide them on how they can invest and make a better life for themselves later on. We have seen some who have been successful. Recently, some even put up the Lewa Village in Eldoret, which is a very innovative way of investing for retirement. I, therefore, join my colleagues in saying pole sana to the family of Kelvin Kiptum for losing their only son and to my colleague. Also pole to the Member for Keiyo South for the loss of his constituent."
