    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hereby call the State Department for Sports to clearly state what transpired and what actions have been taken against the responsible persons that denied Kenya an opportunity for qualification for the walking race at the Olympics in Paris later this year. Mr. Speaker, Sir, even as Alexander Mutiso Munyao, Peres Jepchirchir and others landed yesterday at 5.00 a.m., there was no one to receive them at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) or even to give them a Maasai shuka . It is very embarrassing to these world-beaters. I also wish to call upon the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, Athletics Kenya and the National Olympics Committee of Kenya (NOCK), to embrace openness and transparency during team selection, for various teams representing Kenya in various competitions around the world, especially as our team is preparing for the August Paris Olympics to avoid such a shame. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, I also wish to call upon the Anti-Doping Agency (ADAK) to enhance its vigilance and eradicate rogue agencies and coaches masquerading and spoiling the athlete’s careers and the good name of our athletes by making them to engage in doping, unknowingly to enrich themselves. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I end that Statement and move to the statement under Standing Order No. 53 (1)."
