    "content": "you know that a Kenyan is winning the race. I praise Mr. Eliud Kipchoge for winning the Berlin Marathon. Secondly, it is unfortunate that after the athletes have brought glamour and pride to this country, nobody cares about them once they retire from athletics. I plead with the Government that our sportsmen and women should not be left to suffer even here in the “City of Champions.” There are athletes who brought honour and glory to this country but today they are languishing in poverty. I have read stories of some of them. I urge the Government that at least there should be some element of honouring those people who brought glory to this country and giving them retirement benefits or any kind of arrangement. Once somebody has brought glory to this country and retires, something should be done for them so that we do not see them languishing in in the streets as if they never brought glory to this country. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
