    "content": "we can take this opportunity and consider all amendments, both local and international, bearing in mind that the credibility of our sportsmen and women is at stake. I will repeat what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has just brought to our attention. We cannot overstate the extremity of the law that we are just about to pass and the possibility that it could have far-reaching legal consequences on anybody who contravenes it and the fact that a lot of legal issues have been raised, bearing in mind that some of us have actually proposed further amendments to the proposed amendments coming from the international community. We will do ourselves a lot of justice as well as to our athletes if we considered all amendments in totality. I believe that hon. Senators will bear with me and stay put in the House as we consider this. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, lastly, in supporting this, it will put to rest the possibility of our credible competitors from the international community who had over the years been casting doubt on some of our athletes, because of the sustained win by Kenyans, that there could be something sinister. In passing this Bill and subjecting our athletes to this, it will rest this case once and for all that our athletes are just good. The international community should just ensure there are credible competitors and stop casting doubts on our athletes because they are good and they are doing what it takes to train and win honourably."
