    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank hon. Wesley Korir for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I support this Motion. We need to track down our athletes who carry the Kenyan flag internationally. We should account for their safety wherever they are because they are important people. They are our citizens and it is our responsibility, as a country, to take care of them wherever they are away from our country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Endebess Constituency, which I represent, also has many athletes. But we face challenges in terms of poverty. Most of those athletes come from low socio-economic status and we hope that we will try and see how much we can allocate them from the Constituency Development Fund (CDF). This will enable them nurture their talents and set up camps within their constituencies where they can train in order to perform well both locally and internationally. We are also aware that some of our athletes are being sneaked to other countries, maybe, in Europe, Asia and other parts of the world. I would like our Government to ensure that it tracks down all our athletes so that they are not sneaked out of the country. There is an athlete from my constituency who has been sneaked into South Korea without the knowledge of the parents or relatives. That has caused anguish to both relatives and friends."
