    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to talk on this Bill. I rise to support the Kenya National Library Service Bill. It intends to amend the original Bill of 1967 which, indeed, has become archaic and outdated. These amendments are belated and should have come yesterday because 1967 is a long time ago. It was shortly after we gained Independence. I support this Bill because it attempts to introduce technology and move with the times from the early times of 1967, when we were on print media to electronic. We then went to computers and now we are on mobile phones online. The spirit of adopting new technology in this Bill is, indeed, very good and I commend the authors of this Bill for the work they have done to bring these amendments on board. The Bill attempts to transit us from the ancient times of walking physically to the library to the modern day technology of virtual learning, which is, indeed, a good idea. That is because you can access books from the comfort of where you are."
