"content": "I know that we have mentioned a couple of things, including the fact that it is important to have a library in our current day where we have a lot of untruths. There are people who blatantly tell things that are not true. They allude to issues that do not exist. Since it is written down on the social media, it is read by some people as if there is some truth in it. A library will help to set the record straight because it will be a place where you will have the history. More importantly, it will even have the truth about what happened when we were not there. I can mention to my good friend, the Member for Dagoretti South, that if he goes through the history of our library in Parliament, he will certainly find something that we did during the 10th Parliament that relates to the hustler talk. It explains the dangers and difficulties that can befall a country, if you do not address what was documented by the 10th Parliament. These are things that we have to be careful about. They are there for us to read in our parliamentary library. I have mentioned that libraries will help connect communities. It is within the libraries that you will find documented evidence or records of what communities stand for. As we speak today, we have a lot of mistrust and misconceptions of one community towards another in this country. I believe, if we pay some attention to some history, we will be able to know why a given community may be behaving in a manner that might be annoying you."
