    "content": "happened during that marathon. Of all the countries, a Chinese beat Kenyans. It did not make any sense to me. How on earth does that happen? When I listened to the conversation, it emerged that Kenyans made serious observations, including the fact that in the past there was match-fixing. A new trend is now emerging, that is, race-fixing. The country’s integrity was being discussed online. I agree with what Sen. Cherarkey has said that investigations must be carried out. I want to use the Floor of this House to say that Kenya has obtained a special space in Africa. Where I sit in the Pan-African Parliament, every time people expect us to be athletic, when they look at me, I am a disappointment because I do not look as tall and athletic as I should. They have an image of how a Kenyan should be. We have obtained a special place in the continent and world because of how we have projected athletics in Kenya and the medals we have won. We are jeopardizing the good name of Kenya. Some of the reasons that were being given is that the Chinese was their friend and so, they were letting him to pass. We have discussed here and said that when they come home, they will be given tax-free incentives. We are going to honour them. Why on earth would someone sell the good name of our country? These are the Judas Iscariots who sold the Lord Jesus Christ for pieces of silver. They are selling this country for pieces of silver and that is serious. We want investigations to be done in support of this Statement. The investigations should not just be carried out casually. There should be a serious investigation by the Athletics Kenya (AK). They should involve state agencies that are competent in that area, so that we take the blame where it belongs. The people involved in this scam must be punished. We cannot sacrifice the name of our country because some people want to get a few pieces of silver. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support."
