    "content": "The example I was giving is because we must, as leaders, leave a culture of reading to the new generation. This should start with us the leaders. Let us not focus so much on our forefathers; the political dinosaurs that have been there before. Let us focus on us the new generation; the current leadership. I urge even our good President, Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, when he leaves power, to lead by example by leaving us with a good book that will give his experiences as a leader of this country, what has not worked and what needs to be done to improve our nation. This is just an example that gives credence to this Bill; that it is important to have a management of library services not just the national services, but across constituencies. In fact, most of us, as leaders, move across our constituencies opening libraries that have been built through the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), counties and the Government. However, how are they equipped? This Bill will ensure that even libraries that exist in our schools are well-equipped, so that we do not open buildings that are empty and without any literature material inside for students to read. When we will have a proper management of all the library services - including ensuring that, at least, every constituency across this nation has a library - that will be development. That must be mandatory. That is another way of inculcating the culture of reading in our students and citizens out there."
