    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at the economic prosperity of nations and you look at the reading culture index, you will find a co-relation between the economic development of the countries that have used the culture of reading like India, China, Philippines, Thailand, South Korea, Singapore and Russia, versus the countries that have a lower rating of the reading culture, African countries are at the bottom. So, Kenya could be one of those few countries in Africa that will join South Africa and Egypt in that ranking. Probably, that is where our focus should be to put our young people into books so that they can read what has happened. Those who are interested in arts, let them read the art books. Those who are interested in politics, there are too many varieties of books, so that it does not take a global contagion like the Corona virus to encourage some of us into reading. Let it be a culture. Our friends here who are giving wheelbarrows should instead give a book to those youths so that they can read what can work, what can lead them to success, what it takes to be successful and improve their imaginations, power and talents. It is a deep source of knowledge to read books from time to time. I thank you."
