    "content": "I do not want to speak for Sen. Halake, but we know. The challenges that Sen. Poghisio was talking about, not being able to run are real. This is because, first of all, he must lose weight and be as light as this man for him to run fast. However, it is pure sacrifice. He is also right that we spend so much time commending so many people, but people like these do not get the commendations that this country should give them. There should be a roll of honour for people like Eliud Kipchoge. There should be a street where you can find a star, not just naming a street. I have no problem with having a street in Eldoret named after him, but is that the way to honour somebody, that when you become a hero a street is named after you? It is so primitive! I do not understand some of the things we do. The third one that worries me is that all over the world, whether it is football or cricket the people who excel in these activities become billionaires, not from earnings of the sport, but from brand endorsements. I was speaking to Sen. Orengo and Sen. Cherargei and wondered who knows the agreements that Eliud Kipchoge has entered with Nike and INEOS. Do we know? Are we as a country interested in the brand that he was wearing of Nike in terms of earnings? That is where Eliud Kipchoge should be making money from, and it should interest this country. The Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage should get involved in this person making money. Sachin Tendulkar, Wasim Akram and others who have played cricket have become billionaires for life because of endorsements by companies. Eliud Kipchoge was our hero at 1:59:40. For purposes of the Majority side, and Sen. Murkomen is here, it would paint a better picture for me as a person if he was received also by somebody from Eastern, Isiolo, Turkana and Nyanza. However, he was received by Gov. Sang, the Deputy President and people bearing mursik . We have to change. I know it is an honour welcoming people back to the country by giving them mursik, but we should not tribalise some of these things."
