    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me also add my voice in supporting this Motion, to commend Eliud Kipchoge for doing a wonderful job in the World Marathon. This country is well known by others through our athletes. I happen to have served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as an ambassador and met many outsiders. They will tell you that Kenyans run. In fact, the brand of Kenya in many nations is that we run. Those sportsmen and women have developed on their own. Sometimes you will think that Kenyans do well when left on their own. When it comes to organising sports like football, although it is very popular in Kenya, very few Kenyan teams have made it to the international arena. However, our sportsmen and women have done us proud and it is time they are supported. In fact, as the Mover of the Motion said, their spotlight is very short because, after 10 years, they get tired. They move into this field of sports and make money. It is important that they are organised and trained, so that they can safeguard the resources that they gain. It is important that talents in Kenya are harnessed and supported. In fact, the stadia in this country need improvement to help organise sports. As a country, we should not just ride on the back of those sportsmen. Rather, we should help them to go to those international arenas, so that as they win, they raise the flag of Kenya. With those few remarks, I support the Motion."
