John Waithaka","speaker":null,"content":"The other issue is that we should ask ourselves why many athletes leave Kenya to represent other countries like Bahrain and even the United States. These countries look after the athletes better. They are honoured and respected. The Government should take care and make sure to look after our athletes properly. It is very sad to know that athletes who have represented Kenya in the past are now living in abject poverty."},{"id":1463973,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1463973/?format=json","text_counter":308,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

Charles Nguna","speaker":null,"content":"The other issue we noted, Kenya participated only in athletics and all the mentors, 11 of them, are coming from athletics disciplines. We need to widen our sports coverage in terms of the participation. We need to increase more games so that we can earn more medals. Of course, we emerged top in Africa, but we still need to do a lot so that we can start competing with countries like the United States of America, that banked over 100 medals, and China."},{"id":1463978,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1463978/?format=json","text_counter":313,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Mwingi West, WDM","speaker_title":"Hon.

Jematiah Sergon","speaker":null,"content":"As Members of the vocal race, there is a lot of concern about the performance of this year's team. Ordinarily, Kenya always participates in most of the disciplines in the athletics. We even have the opportunity to have 100 metres, Mr Omanyala, who did very well, as much as he did not get a medal. But there is one thing I am also noticing that the branding in Kenya today is no longer the way we used to take our athlete in very high regard. I expected television channels to give us a lot of coverage on Faith Kipyegon, for instance, in the exemplary performance she has given this country, to the extent of winning the gold medal and breaking her own world record.
