I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52 (1) to make a Statement of general topical concern and national importance, namely, the outstanding performance of our athletes at the Boston Marathon, held on Monday, 15th April, 2024, which was yesterday. Once again, our athletes have brought immense pride to our country by giving us their outstanding performance at the Boston Marathon. Our female athletes dominated the event, securing all top positions on the podium, while their male counterparts also demonstrated exceptional prowess. Our athletes displayed extraordinary resilience to emerge victorious in the fierce competition marathon. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the women’s marathon, Helen Obiri led the podium sweep by clocking two hours, 22 minutes and 37 seconds. I would have expected applause from all the women here."

In the men’s marathon, Evans Chebet, a two-time defending champion, claimed the third place with a time of two hours, seven minutes and 22 seconds. The race was won by Ethiopia’s Sisay Lemma, with a time of two hours, six minutes and 17 seconds. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kelvin Kiptum, and may his soul rest in peace, would have won this marathon under two hours. John Korir and Albert Korir, both representing Kenya, achieved the fourth and fifth position respectively. On behalf of this House, I extend our warmest congratulations. In conclusion, I continue to urge this esteemed House to accord our athletes, both men and women, a chance to address the Senate. I believe the Senate Majority Leader and Senate Minority Leader have made their voices on this. Such an opportunity would demonstrate our appreciation for their remarkable achievements in the international stage by always flying our flag high and will also motivate them to continue bringing honour to our nation.

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, furthermore, I call upon the Ministry of Youth Affairs Sports and the Arts, Athletics Kenya (AK) and the National Olympics Committee of Kenya (NOCK) in collaboration with the Beijing’s Sports Competition, an international sports exchange centre, to provide a comprehensive update on the investigations concerning an incident during the Beijing Half Marathon. This incident involved our athletes, ushering a Chinese marathoner to win a race. People were making comments that maybe Kenyans had started to pay loans by allowing them to win. This among other issues such as doping, fixing athletics and sports have tarnished our nation’s repute internationally and undermined the principles of fair play and transparency in sportsmanship and it kills the spirit of competition. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge our athletes, sportsmen and women that they should either win or lose. What we saw in the Beijing’s Half Marathon is very unfortunate. The three were supposed to win, but they wanted a Chinese to win the race, and retreated. We must have a comprehensive report on the same. Mr. Speaker, Sir, through you, I request the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, led by my brother, Sen. (Rev.) Julius Murgor, the Senator for West Pokot, to look into this issue and update the House. I also plead with the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya to intensify its efforts to root out unscrupulous agents and coaches, who engage in doping and match fixing, therefore, jeopardizing the careers of our sportsmen and women, and the reputation of our Kenyan sports. I wish to congratulate and call upon Athletics Kenya (AK), Kenya Football Federation (KFF) and other sports federations in this country to hold elections as directed by the courts and ensure regular elections to allow efficiency in running this. That is important. I also wish to congratulate our athletes for their exceptional performance at the Boston Marathon and other major marathons and competitions. I wish them well as they prepare to represent our nation in the upcoming Olympics in Paris, France. I assure them of our unwavering commitment and support and advocating for their welfare as they win us more golds. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you."
