    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate that many Kenyans have only known him after this very outstanding performance. He has been performing and winning. However, many of us Kenyans have even not known, not even been talking about him or even recognized his efforts. Now that the entire world is talking about him, we have also joined the world. We need to nurture the talents of all Kenyans. We have seen in the past, that there are many Kenyans who have made it to the Guinness World Book of Records. There is somebody called Joseph, the love of Kilifi who milked 531 litres of milk from 30 cows by hand in 24 hours. He made history. We also have retired athletes, Tecla Lerupe who currently holds three world records. All these people have sacrificed themselves so that they can make a record and history and make our country proud. Another person is Paul Tergat whom we are all proud of who has also made his way to the Guinness World Book of Records. Many athletes have broken world records. In fact, the outside world is more proud of our athletes than us Kenyans. It is high time for us to see how best we can recognize them, encourage them, motivate them and also see how they can be role models to others. How can they nurture the other young people who want to also make history in life? Sports or other activities are not the only way people can make history. We have people who are gifted in various ways and their talents need to be nurtured. Formulation of policies that can acknowledge our athletes, protect and nurture them is something we need as early as yesterday. When you see our young Kenyans performing, winning and also creating their own wealth, we need to see how their families can be protected. As we have seen, they are all young. Some of them may not be experienced and they may not know how to invest. In the Investment area, we need to nurture them to see how they can grow and see how they can invest their wealth and continue growing it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we need to also see how Eliud Kipchoge can become a peace ambassador. Through his action, he united Kenyans. We were able to overcome the issue of tribe that we have always been using in a negative manner. We need to nominate him as a peace ambassador, so that he continue uniting our nation and the entire world."
