    "content": " You have changed. I rise to express my excitement and appreciation to our athletes, knowing that I come from the County of Uasin Gishu, where we are hosting the City of Champions. It is the fifth City that is built, expanded and developed by athletes through their sweat. I want to express my excitement and appreciation to Korir and the lady. I want to condemn the utterance of the said journalist. He expressed demeaning statements and serious racism in himself. I dare to also say that through this House, we need to allow our athletes to express themselves in the language they understand. I have also realised that, sometimes, some of those questions are posed in difficult English and, hence, the athletes find it difficult to express themselves. What would be wrong if we used Kiswahili, which is the first national language that we learn in school? Let them find an interpreter just like they interpret their language. Kiswahili should be worshipped and respected. Our athletes can express themselves well so that they are well understood. We have a case where an athlete ended up losing his golden handshake due to language barrier. Thank you so much, Hon. Speaker. I support that."
