    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me also join my fellow Kenyans in congratulating the 11 athletes who brought us medals. I also congratulate all the other members of the entourage who accompanied the entire team to Paris for the Olympic Games. It is worth noting, and I want to echo the sentiments of my colleagues, that we are starting to lose our traditional points of strength. We have done very well from eternity in some races, but we are starting to lose out, and that could explain two or three things. First, either archaic coaching styles or an unfair selection of athletes who are going to compete in these games. I also want to echo and make this point very clear: our athletes are our best global ambassadors. Wherever they are, they depict what Kenyans ought to be, and what Kenya is. Unfortunately, at the end of their running career when they no longer compete, we do not see or hear them. They disappear into oblivion. I urge Athletics Kenya to invest in these athletes in terms of communication so that they can become brand ambassadors and advertisers for various products in the world. For you to do that, you must be a good communicator. With those few remarks, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I congratulate the team."
