Members of this Senate are all saying how wonderful she is. How I wish we changed the rules on how we reward medals from this House and nationally for Kenyans who have excelled or have done exceptionally well? Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know her personally. I hope that when you go back to Kilifi, you will enable her to continue. I request many of us to participate in a league with my friend, Sen. Stewart Madzayo. I would not mind sending our young ladies from Kisii County because we have football teams. They can go to Kilifi to play then we also invite other players from Kilifi. As Kenyan leaders, we have not treated well our sportsmen, sportswomen, musicians, people who perform in theatre and other sectors. We need to improve on that. We all understand the importance or the reason that right now everybody is a content creator. It is unfortunate that every time our successful athletes go out to the world to perform, we never give them any accolade, leave alone rewarding them in a small way. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."
