A new proposal in Kenya's Parliament seeks to provide substantial cash rewards and diplomatic passports to exceptional Kenyan athletes who excel in global competitions. The motion aims to establish a national policy for recognition and support, addressing current challenges faced by athletes.

• Proposed rewards include up to Sh6 million for world records, Sh4 million for gold medals, Sh3 million for silver, and Sh2 million for bronze.
• The proposal was tabled by Mwingi West MP Charles Ngusya.
• The scheme also suggests non-financial benefits such as diplomatic passports, national honours, and appointments as goodwill ambassadors, alongside calls for insurance and post-retirement savings.
