• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: 2918 sportsmen and women did Kenya proud and Kenya was ranked third in the world behind the USA and Jamaica. Kenya was ranked first in Africa. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: There were a total of 213 countries represented. So, these sportsmen and women really worked very hard. They achieved 11 medals, four gold, five silver and two bronze which, indeed, confirms Kenya’s supremacy in athletics. Notable achievements were those in 10,000 metres in women where Linet Masai won gold after 12 years. The last time Kenya had won competition was in 1997 but this girl managed to beat the Ethiopians who had monopolized this particular race as well as the 5,000 metres where the girls and the boys, through their team-work which was excellent, managed to out-maneuver their competitors. view

Members for their support and prayers, and for all the contributions that have been made this morning, as well as for those contributions that were to be made. I am sure that if we had time, everyone in this House has something to say about our athletes. So, I truly appreciate their support. view
• 26 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, about motivational support to the athletes, I want to assure hon. Members that I feel that our athletes really need more. I went to Ethiopia last year, after I was just appointed. I was shown a mountainous place that is like Muthaiga. I was told that was where the athletes of Ethiopia stay. They are given cars and houses, as Mr. Mungatana said.
