    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for the opportunity to second this Motion. As I second it, my most sincere condolences to the family of Kelvin Kiptum and the family of his coach. It was extremely sad for some of us because Kiptum comes from my village of birth. When I saw the people mourning, I could recognize 70 per cent of them. However, I could not recognize the younger ones. It is extremely sad. It hurt everybody because this is something that was least expected. I pass my condolences to the whole village of Chepsamo and Chepkorio; our village and to wish them God’s comfort at this very difficult time. The young man Kiptum has been well eulogized by my neighbour Sen. Cherarkey of Nandi. He has described how the young man grew. This is a man from a very humble background. We have seen very humble people grow to be somebodies because of sports especially athletics. It is very unfortunate that we have continued to lose some of them through road accidents. I support one proposal that has come from Sen. Cherarkey. It is not very costly for this country to take care of life especially for such young ones. This is because when people grow from very humble backgrounds, it is very difficult for them to imagine that they are going to hire a driver and askari to take care of them. They are villagers and they still believe that they are free and can do anything on their own. It is very unfortunate because somebody would be having Kshs2 million in an account but does not have a driver and has to drive himself everywhere. They start at 5.00 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."
