    "content": "sure that you have a proper facility. However, what we want to do in Shanzu is of international standard, that is, the equivalent of Nyayo stadium or somewhere between Nyayo and Kasarani stadiums or between Nyayo Stadium and Talanta. That is because the low altitude competitions are held in places like the Coast region. We want one stadium to be done there of a magnitude that can help us in hosting competitions because you cannot host them in very high altitude areas. Hon. Julius Rutto, I agree that we need to safeguard the roadsides for running by our athletes. When I was in the Ministry of Roads and Transport, we had worked together in doing that. In Iten, our plan was to make sure that we safeguard running tracks with murram. You do not need to put the tarmac on the side roads that are used by the runners. I think that should go on and I believe that my colleagues in the roads and transport sector will continue the good work and the plans that we had. It is not just in Elgeyo Marakwet, but in all the training areas across the country, especially where people run. That will help. In addition, the preservation of forests and running areas around the forests will also be useful for athletes because they are off the road and we can avoid accidents that happen like was the case of Mr. Geoffrey Kamwaror. We were unable to have him for international competitions because of that."
