    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Chair of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, I want to congratulate the Minister with whom we have worked together very closely. It is because of the close working relationship with the Departmental Committee that you are seeing results. I want to urge all the other committees to emulate the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs because that is what is giving results. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to equally congratulate the athletes. I am very happy that they were able to do that. I am also happy that out of the 17 medals, ten were won by women. I want to tell the women of this country that if those women could do that, we have the capacity to compete in everything. One of us can even be the President of this country. The women of this country are prepared this time round to take everything. We will tell our brothers: “You have managed this society for many years and this is the time to see the management of women”. We are going to transform this country and its visibility will be very high. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to appreciate these people. Honestly, if we do not appreciate this performance by our own Kenyans, we would be wasting a lot. In appreciating them, we must clearly show it. This House must lead by example. Just as the Prime Minister said, 80 per cent of the Parliament of Uganda came to Kenya to cheer their team. We should not talk about this matter in the House and leave it here. When our athletes are coming back, we should wait for them at the airport. We should celebrate and cheer them so that Kenyans can see what kind of people we are. This is wonderful. It is a miracle that Kenyans could perform to that level. With those few remarks, I support the Motion."
