    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I only have two comments to make about the performance of athletics. It is not very good; it is disappointing. You know how passionate I have been about athletics. You are aware that Nandi County is one of the greatest source of champions. We pride ourselves on one of the most extraordinary performers like Conseslus Kipruto, Ezekiel Kemboi and Janet Jepkosgei. You know the beauty that we used to feel in those days. The disappointment coming from Paris is not very good for the country. I agree with the Senator who said that we need talent development. Madam Temporary Speaker, you could see the difference in the performance. I agree with the Majority Leader who said science has caught up with talent. When you see the short race trainers from the United States of America (USA) and Jamaica, the land of reggae and legends, you can see there is talent development. As a country, we must now look for talent development. In conclusion, I thank one of my best schools in Nandi called Cheptil Secondary School. Today afternoon, they beat and thrashed Namwela Secondary School in the just concluded Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA). Cheptil retained their title in volleyball. Although Kwanthanze beat Kesogon, Highway Secondary School beat the rest. We are proud of Cheptil from Nandi County in Mosop sub-county. Madam Temporary Speaker, if you watched what was happening at KSSSA in Kisii, there is a lot of raw talent. I agree with Sen. Asige that we need to mind them. Let us do reforms in the sports sector. I have hope that with the interventions that we will put in the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, we can do reforms on football, volleyball, athletics, paralympics et cetera once and for all. Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for that indulgence. I wish Eliud Kipchoge the best as he goes for the golden glory. We remember Kelvin Kiptum, who unfortunately perished. We would have hoped that he be here in Paris 2024. However, we hope Eliud Kipchoge will bring it home."
