• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: celebrations. We take our athletics for granted because we are getting that which we do not invest in as a Government or country. The budget that we set aside for sports and sports facilities, and for purposes of athletics, does not reflect the recognition that we get from the sports fraternity. Today, we are using Eliud Kipchoge as an example. The day he broke the world record in the Berlin Marathon was such a uniting event. It was on a Sunday and many people even forfeited church service just to watch him. It was beautiful. However, these men are just ... view

I think it was in Paris, while we were still ... view

I know these athletes personally. This is so nostalgic for me because I represent them and know their concerns and interests. Asbel Kiprop has shone for ... view
