    "content": "a.m.,, do another course in the middle of the day, and then again in the evening. Those people get tired but they do not realise because they are young and imagine they can do a lot. It will be one of the best things that this country can do to ensure that promising athletes are taken care of. They should be given at least a driver, if not with a bodyguard. That way, they will not have to drive themselves, so that they do not think as fast as when they are running while they are driving. All they could be thinking about is to make sure they reach where they are going. As I support this, I urge the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Sports and Arts to pay more attention to those young people. A 24-year-old person is too young to lose. Last time we also said the same about the late Wanjiru because I was an MP at that time. He was young and had not even build himself a house, but we lost him. We need to start taking care of them. They need capacity building on how to take care of themselves and resources they get. As a House, we need to look at sports because it is also a devolved function and see what we can do. The stadia are under the counties. The sportsmen and women are also in the counties. Let us have a way of protecting these people, so that they do not die careless deaths. Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not want to add anything to that because I can see many colleagues, including the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet. Thank you for allowing me to second because of the urgency of an agenda that I have ahead of me. Again, pole to the family; pole to the whole village’ and pole to my neighbours. We pray that God rests Kiptum’s soul in eternal peace."
