    "content": "We need to devolve archives to libraries so that it is easy to access information about our great forefathers. I believe almost all of us have a background. If you want to access who did what or founded what, you can only find this in archives which are hard to come by. If we have libraries in our local areas and sub-counties, even those who want to write their biographies and background information about their local areas will have access to materials and write books that can be kept in the libraries. Lastly, I support this Bill. I believe the board will promote research. There are those who want to acquire PhD. If we allow them to access materials in libraries, we need to equip and modernise them. Libraries will assist people in the rural areas who have no opportunity of accessing libraries in the cities. I support. This House must also support by not only passing the Bill, but by also providing the funds needed for equipping and modernising libraries. We can also promote them by being learners ourselves. People look upon us as leaders and believe that anybody who comes to this House is literate and informed on what is happening in the world. It is important for us also to go to the libraries, study and interact with the people, so that they can know that we are also seeking information. There are those of us who rise up in this House and talk on a matter without understanding it. Like my colleagues have said, we also need to have a library in this premise, so that we can research on many issues. With that, I support. Thank you."
