    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Motion. I also want to urge the national Government together with the county governments to assist in the construction of stadia. You realize that in the Jubilee Manifesto, they are supposed to construct one stadium in each county. It is unfortunate that in Uasin Gishu County, a city of champions, we do not have a single stadium. I want to urge the two levels of government to partner and at least ensure that we have one stadium in each county. I want to congratulate Lorna Kiplagat from Elgeyo-Marakwet County for coming up with the first standard stadium where most athletes from Uasin Gishu and Nandi go to train. Lastly, universities should come up with a curriculum, just like Moi University has done, so that we begin training on how to improve games in this country and how to nurture young talents so that we have people who can participate in events in future especially in track events. For the first time, I want to congratulate my brother, Julius Yego, who comes from my county for having won the first gold medal in the track events. Therefore, we need to invest in sports to ensure that our country remains relevant in sports. Last but not least is the issue of tax. Our athletes are taxed so much. The manager takes a certain percentage and the host country taxes the remaining. The same money is also taxed when they come home. That is why you find that our athletes are poor because most of the money is taken by the managers and the government through taxes. I support."
