    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 43, I wish to raise a matter regarding the outstanding performance of the Kenya athletics team in the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) World Championships held in Doha, Qatar. Hon. Speaker, I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate our heroes and heroines who have made us proud in the just-concluded IAAF 2019 championships. Kenya was one of the 208 countries and territories taking part in the games that were held from Friday, 27th September 2019 to 6th October, 2019, with 48 of our athletes participating in different disciplines. Due to their hard work, Kenya was able to finish second in the medal standings after the United States of America (USA) with a total of 11 medals: Five Gold, two Silver, and four Bronze. This outstanding victory places Kenya high in the field of world athletics having defeated other well- known sporting nations. There is need to accord those individuals who have dedicated their lives to serve this nation through sports the support that they require to enable them to give their best. It is, therefore, against this background that I seek your leave to raise this matter during today’s Statement Hour. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
