"content": "Thank you, Sen. Muthama for correcting me. I noted a few fields that we have ventured in. I noted one performer who is Julius Yego who has learnt the art of javelin through YouTube. He earned this country a gold medal. Even if in other fields we were not able to get medals, I want to note that the organization of para sports in this competition was very good for Kenya. In fact, we had a double amputee called Wacuka, who does not have legs, who was competing in swimming. Even if we did not win the medal, we have done well as a country. They have done us proud. My experience, the few days I was in Glasgow with Sen. Joy Gwendo is that we were able to watch these games in the media. However, the local channels were picking on their participants who were maybe No.8 and they were just hammering that those were the only people who were representing us. They ignored us who were leading and having all the three medals. That is what we should do as a country. Even if we do not get all the gold and finish last, we should be patriotic enough and support our athletes. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
