Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Bill that we developed in the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to congratulate our athletes for making us proud, particularly Ms. Vivian Cheruiyot, who comes from my county. She has done well many times. Elgeyo Marakwet is the county of champions because we produce athletes in great numbers. The Government should recognise, motivate and give them fair treatment.
