Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will agree with me that when a politician and Benjamin Ayimba are on a queue, the politician will be told to jump the queue and not the Benjamin Ayimbas and not the Eliud Kipchoges of this world. We need to recalibrate the way we define and look at our heroes. At this point in time, we cannot bring Benjamin Ayimba back to life. However, the glory, the adrenaline that he inspired in our bodies, the smiles that he put on our faces, the excitement he caused us every time we saw a player of the Kenyan ...

I wish that the family is taken care of. This is because as always is the case, we attend funeral and make lofty speeches. We talk about the deceased 10 per cent of the time and Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) 90 per cent of the time. I hope that this will be different. Let us make promises and commitments that we will live up to.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the late Benjamin Ayimba did a lot to the game of rugby which was a minority sport. Back then, it was a sport that was confined to a few schools. In Nairobi, it was Nairobi School and Lenana School. In Western, it was Maseno School and St. Mary’s Yala.

The generation of the late Benjamin Ayimba democratized the rugby movement to an extent that today the traditional schools that dominated rugby, Lenana and Nairobi Schools, are nowhere. Nowadays, it is Kakamega Boys and Musingu Boys. Rugby has moved to the Western part of the country and more people are now getting an opportunity to play it and go international to play in England and other countries the way Benjamin Ayimba did.

We might not be able to pay him or properly idolize him as a hero in his days of living, but the memories he has left behind and the glory he has brought to Kenya is immense.
