    "content": "We have different talents in Kenya. In Maasailand, we have Rudisha, a champion in the 800 meters, Manangoi who is following suit and the Konchellas who left history. We need to think of people who can nominate them. It is those people who will tell us that so and so was great at this sport. That kind of information will help the person who wants to appear in the Hall of Fame later because they can then refer to what David Rudisha did when he was running 800 meters and broke several world records. That cannot be done by someone from the county public service board. When coming up with this legislation, we need to know what we are trying to reward or who we are trying to make legendary. The Sponsor of this Bill should reconstitute the committee that will be receiving nominations of people who are to be considered in the Hall of Fame. It is good for the county government to construct a hall where they can put pictures of all the great men and women of that county. However, whoever select those who will be added in the Hall of Fame should be people in the specific fields. If it is athletics, get someone from the Athletics Kenya, who knows everything and anything about sports. If it is in business, get someone from the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry to be part of that select committee. This is because he or she would be able to measure and say, “Ledama was great” or, “so and so was great in this field because he was able to break every record we set.”"
