    "content": "There are sportsmen like Michael Olunga. December last year, I sat with him in Kabondo Constituency, which is his constituency of birth. The intention was to have him inspire a generation of young players that they could be as great as him. I recall that when we had a conversation, his focus was on the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). He had just signed up for a team in Japan. He told the young men to watch the space and that he would go to the AFCON in Egypt and score. He was confident that Kenya would lift the Cup. Indeed, he did not disappoint fully because he played a very important role in the goals that Kenya scored during the AFCON even though we did not win the tournament. We need to recognise such people. If we recognised “ githeri man”, then people like Michael Olunga and Eliud Kipchoge, the gentleman who shattered the half marathon just a week ago and the world record holder in marathon should be recognised. In the next one or two weeks, he will attempt to be the first person to run a full marathon under two hours. I challenged Members, for health and wellbeing purposes, to attempt to run a marathon not in two hours, but even in four hours. I know that we shall have casualties. However, the gentleman is promising that he will be the first person to run a marathon in two hours. A marathon is 42 kilometres and the speed will be about 20 kilometres per hour. It might look like nothing when you are driving a car. However, if you run for 20 kilometres per hour for two hours consistently, that is the true definition of a superman. These are the people who should get the highest honours in this country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
