    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to thank all the Members who have made their contribution to this very important Motion. There are other things that we may have left out, but I know that we still have time to walk as a family in ensuring that we recognise and reward our athletes. Let me point out a few issues. The first one is the depreciating standards of our volleyball team. For the first time, our men’s volleyball team did not participate in the All Africa Games. You cannot imagine that a young team like Rwanda played up to the semi-finals, led by the one who was a coach of this country for some time, my neighbour, Mr. Paul Bitok. He is now the national coach for Rwanda. I think he went to Rwanda because of some few frustrations here and there. Having said that, I think the history of this country has it that Kenya does not do well in track events especially the short races. The time when we used to say that Kenya cannot compete in these short races is gone. From what we experienced in Beijing, China – again my neighbor, the young man who won 400 metres hurdles – is the best example that this country has come to a level where it can produce the best athletes for 100 and 200 metres and the relays.
