    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I know we are talking about heroes at Zero Hour. We have a number of heroes apart from Eliud Kipchoge, whom we are proud of today. We have a number of them who have performed for this country and have made Kenya what it is today such that when you travel overseas and mention Kenya, even before they know the continent you come from, they automatically know Kenya. It is important when we recognise and honour our heroes. There are many categories we can look at. The people who are good in keeping peace in this country are also heroes. We have people, even as young as they may be and in whichever places they are in, that we need to recognise. We have seen some people lamenting on social and mainstream media that some years back, they did something. It is only important for this country to place or create categories of recognition in terms of who a hero is. If we do not respect and give our heroes what they deserve, some of the people with good hearts to do good things for this country – people we call patriots – may get frustrated because as Government we do not recognise them."
