    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, organizers in different cities invite Kenyans to grace their events is because the participation of Kenyan talent gives the competitions high profile and also attract handsome sponsorship because of the calibre of Kenya participating. While marathon organizers are at liberty to invite whoever they want and award them according to their plans, as a Government, we view different treats to winners in the same event based on their origin as global discrimination and against the spirit of sportsmanship. Kenya continues to offer high altitude training venues to athletes from many countries including the Netherlands because of our cordial relationships with those nations. The Netherlands, therefore, the Dutch Government should reciprocate by treating our athletes fairly. An athlete marathoner covers 45 to 55 miles weekly and is expected to train for between 14 to 18 weeks prior to major championships. It is, therefore, very disheartening that the Utrecht Marathon set for Easter Monday, 25th April, 2011 has set aside discriminatory prize money. Outsiders participating in this event, and I am expecting that Kenya will, are to be given 100 Euros while the Dutch participating are given 10,000 Euros."
