    "content": "I did not know that I was talking to the sky. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree that the Government should take the responsibility of building facilities. We also encourage the private sector to invest, but the kind of people that we are dealing with cannot even pay Kshs1, 000 per month to be in a camp because they are young. There are also nice opportunities in Uasin Gishu County such as scholarship for athletes. We have helped them, but the best way is to have Government-sponsored facilities. If we do that, we will have created a new line of scholarship for the Kenyan youth. We know that we have the talent and Kenyans are respected for that. We even have universities coming to look for students to be offered athletics scholarships. It is true that we have the opportunity and potential, but we must organise ourselves so that our youth can practise in an organised way and have the opportunities that we did not have, or some of our colleagues whose parents were athletes, did not have. I agree that there is need to encourage them to save. They do not need pension from anybody else but themselves. We need to help, train and organise them, so that they have an athletics organization, where they can do their savings for the future. It is true that they have invested heavily in this town, but we need them to organise themselves. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
