    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, it is just like our men and women in uniform who sacrifice, and by the time they leave, we forget about them. The Athletics Kenya currently no longer has an interest in those people who came and did well. It is the same for any other sport around the world. However, the moment we establish that hall of fame, they can now actually get to utilise the people who would be considered as hall of famers, because they can then nurture this talent. They can go to Kajiado or Narok and talk to the youth, and maybe even set up sports academies to nurture that talent. If it is business, they can talk about how they excelled, so that people can aspire to be like them or even greater than them. Madam Temporary Speaker, when we devalue the achievements of an individual, then the only way that we can redeem ourselves is by ensuring that we reward, honour and use them. I would like to have a sitting with the Senate Majority Leader and maybe give him my reasons for amending this Bill. This is because I have attended many ceremonies where people are inducted into the hall of fame. When you hear what they have done for them to be considered as that, I am not so sure I would agree with my senior, the Professor. Sometimes I forget names, but it is the Senator for Kisii, who has just spoken. It is Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri. I remember the name when I say “Kisii.”"
