    "content": "THAT, aware that Kenya has excelled in sports in the world, particularly in athletics; further aware that most sportsmen and women participate as national representatives at the local and international stages while still very young, inexperienced and with little income; deeply concerned that despite bringing glory and acknowledgement to the country over the years, there has been minimal short and long-term recognition and rewards from the Government; further concerned that many of the sportspersons often retire in abject poverty due to among others, lack of/or support, poor financial and personal management skills; cognisant of the fact that reward and establishment of a fund would among other things provide supportive means for sportspersons upon retirement; this House urges the Government to establish an Athletics Remuneration and Endowment Fund for purposes of pooling resources for rewarding and supporting sportspersons."
