    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Arts should take stock of our athletes. We also have very talented footballers in this country. If we can do very well in athletics, I do not see why we cannot do well in football. We had talent and it is still there. Let the Football Federation of Kenya take a cue from athletics body, and also improve football in this country. Kenya is a power house in sports worldwide. As we pride ourselves in athletics I would urge that we think outside the box, and put other sports in order. Last but not least, I do not agree that the Government should tax our youth. I was one time embarrassed. I was sharing a flight with some of the athletes. My wife was waiting for me at the airport. A poor athlete who had actually got gold did not have transport to get home. Let us have courtesy for our athletes and respect them. Let us make them proud. I want to encourage the athletics body to put its house in order. They should do away with the wrangles facing them, and concentrate on supporting our youth, who have been making our country proud. We are very unique in our own way. We have genes that are admired. I have seen people come to our power city of Eldoret to train, so that they can also win. However, when we go for competition they are always last. I support the Motion."
