    "content": "celebrations. We take our athletics for granted because we are getting that which we do not invest in as a Government or country. The budget that we set aside for sports and sports facilities, and for purposes of athletics, does not reflect the recognition that we get from the sports fraternity. Today, we are using Eliud Kipchoge as an example. The day he broke the world record in the Berlin Marathon was such a uniting event. It was on a Sunday and many people even forfeited church service just to watch him. It was beautiful. However, these men are just humble people. Two days ago, we were with him in Nandi during a function organized by the Governor for Nandi, Gov. Sang, for his recognition, including other issues. He is still very humble. He was asked to talk, which he did for three minutes and sat down. Mr. Speaker, Sir, these people have made our country great. Kenya is a home to five world records. The best world record we have held for a long time is by a Kenyan from Elgeyo-Marakwet County called Mr. Komen. Mr. Komen broke the 3,000 metres world record in 1996; it is yet to be broken. This was almost 22 years ago and that record is still standing. David Rudisha broke the world record in 800 metres in the Beijing Olympics."
