"content": "Thank you, for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Bill and support it. We cannot underrate the impact of athletics to the growth of the economy of this country. We know athletics is a source of income to our country and I would like to say that it has marketed this country in a positive way. Whenever you go out and introduce yourself as Kenyan, they will mention athletics and think that you can also run. This is one aspect that as a country we can be strategic enough to come up with a strategy that can be used as a source of employment and create many sports academy. I would also like to thank the Government because it has identified Ngong and Eldoret as areas where we can make Vision 2030 stadiums. We have special climate in the Ngong Hills where athletes train and later board planes to the outside world. I would also want to say that some of these athletes are put in a mess without knowing. Some of them are not properly educated on why they should not take these kinds of drugs, while others are under pressure by their sponsors."
