    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Kenya National Library Service (National Bill No. 5 of 2020). This Bill will enable us do many things. Among others, it will enable us to develop our literature, promote financing of cultural celebrations, promote our culture and traditions, finance research at many levels and also enable us to create a community of readers spending their time productively. I was privileged to live in the western world for many years. They have book clubs. That is where people form clubs, come together once or twice a week to read books and through that, they enrich each other with knowledge. They enlighten each other and even grow in knowledge and wisdom. A reading culture is critical for enrichment, enlightenment and for growth of knowledge as earlier said. This Bill will provide opportunities for scholars, students, researchers and senior members of our society. Senior members actually volunteer their time in those libraries and, sometimes, they even spend time in those libraries to actually do their memoirs or even write articles. In doing so, they contribute to the growth of literature in their communities. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
