    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, it is unfortunate that the building called Kenya National Archives, right in the center of Nairobi, is just a bus stop for Matatus heading to Eastleigh, Buruburu et cetera. It is a shame. If one goes to Washington, the archives, similar to the building out here are protected. There is security and the building is clean and advertised. This is a useful matter, I think in terms of even shared prosperity, celebrating the various cultures of this country. The other day together with Sen. Omogeni and Sen. (Rev.) Waqo, we received a Petition from 4,000 Shona people who live in Kiambu. They came from Zimbabwe and the women dress in white, Sunday to Sunday. They have a rich history. We have a rich history, and I know people who have the rich history of even Chief Kivoi, who used to walk all the way to Mombasa. I am not even sure of the Committee that will handle this. This is a matter we should profile. I mentioned this when I went to address the Kakamega County Assembly. In the Kakamega County Assembly building, is a list of Kenyans who fought the World War 1 and World War 11 listed inside that Chamber. In real terms, that Chamber should not be used; it should be a tourist attraction. The other day, I met a gentleman whom I castigated because he told me that he got a contract to renovate the State Lodge in Machakos. I told him, “you have made a mistake and it is responsibility of the Government of Kenya to renovate the State Lodge in Machakos for a reason.” They actually demolished it and started reconstruction. There is a reason."
