    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. Mr. Eliud Kipchoge is a great gentleman. Besides that, I reiterate the sentiments made that our country is talented as far as the issue of sports is concerned. However, we should ask ourselves how we have handled these talents. To me, we have behaved like the elephant that carries its tusks without knowing its value. We do not seem to recognize the value of these young men and women. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should do more by starting with the counties right here. Counties should nurture talent. Besides issues of stadiums, there are other issues that concern the personal suffering of some of these people. This takes up very little resources. Counties should try and see what they can do about this. The national Government should come up with something encompassing the whole country. The issue of athletes is not a simple thing. I remember at one time there was a boxing match just before the Second World War got very serious. One boxer was an American and the other a German. The American boxer was called by President Roosevelt to the White House to encourage him. The German boxer was also called by his President. This is because they were seeing it as morale to the people of America and Germany."
