    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to air my few comments regarding this Bill. First, I want to thank my brother, Hon. Muthomi, for thinking about this very important Bill that would, maybe, give us a turn-around regarding the history of this country since Mzee started fighting for the country. It is important that this Bill becomes an Act of Parliament. This is because this country has a history. This history is vital and very important to us, our children and grandchildren. It is important for us to recognise where Mzee Jomo Kenyatta started his life and how he was introduced to fighting for the rights of Kenyans and, particularly, during those colonial days and to give hope to that young boy and girl out there in some village that anything is possible; that you can be from a humble beginning and end up being the President of this country. I have been asking myself why this is important. While on a mission to China, we visited the mausoleum for the queen. You could see the number of British visitors. We were there and they were a little bit scared. They said they did not want the British to visit that place so much. The argument is that they have the gold-coated statue and the British, whenever they go there, would come at night and scrap the gold and leave the shell. It was a good experience."
