    "content": "Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to give my condolences to the family of Kelvin Kiptum, especially his father, Mr. Cheruiyot, who you could see the pain when he said his only son is gone. However, as we speak, when I hear that maybe they need drivers and security, I ask myself, in our culture when you get money and you start having all these things, the community might shun you. They say you have got money that is why you are not even talking to them, because you have a car and a driver. I think what we really need is two things; that is sensitization and education. When somebody amasses such kind of wealth and you are known all over or you become a celebrity overnight, all you need is to be trained on how to manage that, because if you are not trained, you might behave in a way that people might think you are not doing what you are supposed to do. Madam Temporary Speaker, people used to say that the late Samuel Wanjiru changed the way he used to walk and talk after he became famous. People noticed that he was not talking the way he used to talk earlier. This is because perhaps these athletes are not told what to do once they attain such status. Education is very important. They even need to be taught how to manage their finances. It was said here that you will find a person who was very poor getting millions of shillings overnight. The way you treat yourself and treat others always changes. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
