"content": "if you go to Paris, you cannot touch those buildings. They belong to the State. They can be used for purposes of tourists coming to make money. The same with the monument on Kenyatta Avenue of three soldiers. The street boys find it a nice place to go and hang out. If that was in another place, all over the world, you would go there to take nice pictures and it would be protected. I went to the State Assembly of Maryland. As I conclude, George Washington wrote a letter on his resignation from the Army. He wrote a letter to resign from the military to become the first President. The State of Maryland spent USD1 million for that letter. They put it beautifully in their Assembly. In this building - I want to say because I found it a little careless - right at the beginning as you enter, there is small room. We call it the CPA Room. There is a small scalpel that was put there for a prince. I cannot remember who it is, but there is a scalpel there as a foundation of this building. It had a very nice picture that was donated to us by the British Government. How many of us know that? This Parliament does not have in itself a place where we can find the history of this country. I want to thank the Chief Justice Willy Mutunga who converted the cells in the law court. If you go downstairs, you will find the order. It is not a museum. There is a gentleman whose monument is near Corner House; Dedan Kimathi. You will find the order for his arrest beautifully put there. I think Parliament should do the same. I thank Sen. Khaniri for this thought because I think these are some of the things that will move us forward as a country. Madam Deputy Speaker, I met your daughter and chances are that, she does not know that these things exist. You and I have a duty to ensure that our history is not lost. I thank you."
