"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support this Motion. In fact, I would like to say a huge thanks to Mr. Eluid Kipchoge. He made us, as a country, all proud by breaking the record, which one of my villagers from Baringo County, Mr. Paul Tergat, held. Due to limited time, many speakers have said and hit the point; that we need to do more for our heroes for their exemplary performance. However, how do we fund it? We should do what the western world, especially the United Kingdom (UK), does with their sportsmen and women. We should set up a lottery. We could be getting a slice from the lottery and pump millions and hundreds of millions of shillings to nurture sports and pay for insurance for our heroes. We should make sure that it not only goes to the athletics, but all sports in general. We have heard about boxing, rugby, among others. We also need to nurture cricket. One of the champions of cricket going forward, will be none other than yours truly. I believe that we have massive talent all over in the counties that can nurture cricket and, of course, also polo. I would like to congratulate all the previous athletes who have made us proud, especially from Uasin Gishu, the home of Sen. (Prof.) Kamar. They say Nandi County is the home or source of champions. They are the greatest, but Baringo athletes are the latest. I will not be here with you tomorrow, because I will be attending peace meetings in Baringo County. One of the things that we should be doing is showing our youth that there are other talents, apart from destructive ways and means, and sports is one of them. Thank you very much."
