    "content": "It is important for the Government to support these athletes by building well equipped facilities that would help the upcoming athletes to achieve the level of Mr. Eliud Kipchoge. We have many athletes in places such as Kuresoi, Nakuru County, and other parts of the country who are eager to be at par with the great athletes, so long us we build them facilities. Beyond winning, it also helps to bring the county together. Whenever I have a positive post congratulating an athlete on my social media pages, I feel encouraged. Sports make our people more patriotic. However, we cannot achieve it unless we have the necessary resources set aside. We must make sure that we encourage our upcoming athletes by providing them with incentives and necessary facilities. This Motion is timely now that we are in Uasin Gishu County. This morning, we visited Nandi County. We were told that it is the source of champions. There is also a home of champions and the City of Champions. Therefore, this is an exciting time for us. My time is almost up, but I would like to take this opportunity to condemn in the strongest terms possible, the on-going clashes in Narok and Nakuru counties. It is a pity that we have some leaders who are inciting Kenyans. Kenyans are peaceful people. They have lived together, side by side, for many years. It is wrong to have leaders who incite people to an extent that their incitement leads to violence and conflict between communities. A leader should not do so. Since they are known, they should be arrested and be made to face the full force of the law. We cannot allow our country, specifically our counties, to end up being war zones because some leaders want to incite people for their own personal interests. I condemn those acts in the strongest terms possible. I urge the communities involved to come together and embrace peace. They should stop the fighting for we are all Kenyans. We have lived together as brothers and sisters for many years."
