    "content": "use the correct word. But you find a classroom that is not even fit to be a pen for sheep and goats, and yet it is a classroom. That is where the problem lies. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion because we must build institutions. I want to see an athletics stadium in Mt. Elgon in Bungoma County; the home of the famous Ben Jipcho and Linet Masai; the home of young talent that have come from nowhere to be world conquerors. I salute boys like Paul Ereng who, from nowhere, won an Olympic gold medal. I salute boys like Paul Tergat who have brought immense pride to this country without us, as a country and as a Government, supporting him If you look at the leadership of these sports services, you find people who live like lords. We were shown the scandal at the Olympics in London where officials who escorted our athletes were living in Five Star hotels, paying themselves per diems of US$2,000 per day while our boys and girls who were going to bring glory to this country like David Rudisha were sleeping in dormitories, with nobody caring for them. Then they come back and say “we succeeded; we got one gold,” when Kenya would have got even ten gold medals if they cared. This is a wonderful thing. This Senate must stand up, be counted and stop the entrenchment of marginalization that has been the hallmark of this country where some tarmac roads lead to individual homes while in others these are lessons learnt by children in books. That is what we must stop. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
