    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for that recognition. In athletics, we all recognise that Nyantika Maiyoro of Kisii County was the first Kenyan to win a medal in an international competition during the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in the 1960s. We also recognize Wilson Kiprugut of Kericho County who won the first medal in the Olympics Games in Tokyo in 1964. We recognise the late Naftali Temu of Nyamira County who won the first gold medal in the Mexico Olympics in 1968. In the same Olympics, Kipchoge Keino and Amos Biwott both won gold medals. I believe Kipchoge Keino is from Uasin Gishu County and Amos Biwott is from Elgeyo-Marakwet County. The greatest event of all took place in 1972 during the Munich Olympics, where the amazing Kenyan quartet of Charles Asati and Hezekiah Nyamau both from Kisii County, Robert Ouko from Nyamira County and Julius Sang of Nandi County won the gold medal in 4x400 metres relay. This was perhaps the greatest sporting event many of us have ever watched. I also pay tribute to many other Kenyan athletes who have been outstanding in various sporting events in the intervening years. I also recognise the achievement of our women who have, in fact, dominated the international athletics scene in world capitals in the recent years. I take this opportunity, in particular, to heartily congratulate our rugby team which conquered the world last weekend in Singapore. The names of these boys need to be listed in our Country Hall of Honour. The purpose of this Bill is to protect the fundamental rights of athletes to participate in sports activities that are free from doping and, secondly, to put in place The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
