    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know me to exercise my mind and not leave my brain at home. Sen. Poghisio said, and nobody disputed, that Eliud Kipchoge was a hero for Kenyans by day, but by nightfall he became a tribesperson. That is the point I was making. I was going to get to the point that there is a way we manage our affairs without knowing that we are tribalising them. That is what I was saying. I said that it is wrong for this country because the gentleman who won eventually had a flag of Kenya, and that is the symbol of the nation. That is how it should look like in his reception and otherwise. It is a way of management. The country has a sports organisation, the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage and an ambassador et cetera. Let us manage our affairs better, so that these matters are treated differently. The reason I say so is because this afternoon, I met somebody who asked why leaders from Eastern region have not said something about the Likoni Ferry tragedy because the persons who died are Kambas. That is where I am coming from. The persons who died in the Likoni Ferry tragedy are Kenyans and should be treated like Kenyans, and not Kambas because their second names are “X”. In fact, the lady comes from Mombasa, but was married to a Kamba. That is the mistake we make and carry in our national duties, and treat matters that are supposed to be ideally national differently. These people should be treated like heroes of this country. We should at some point forget their second names. It should be Eliud, 1:59:40 and Brigid. This is because they are Kenyans."
