    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I would like to air my views on the Kenya National Library Service Bill. First, I would like to say that we have forgotten the reading culture which the old people had already adopted. Things have changed. The digital era has come and it has brought a lot of changes, especially to the young people. You will find that some are not very keen on reading books. They want to read through their computers. They want to read from the internet. Therefore, they are not willing to read. They should be encouraged to go to libraries. I remember when we were young, we used to read books in schools. We used to go to libraries and conduct research. Whatever was difficult to you could only be got in libraries. Therefore, this should be encouraged. That is where many people have done researches. Their research papers have been placed in libraries. Therefore, for whatever you do not know or whatever you want to know, you can go to a library and pick a book, read and get more knowledge. Especially for us who are growing old and are leaders, we need a lot of knowledge to educate the people that we lead. We should be more informed than those that we lead, so that we can teach them many of the things that they do not know. It is also a good thing to keep the youth busy in libraries reading and getting knowledge. Nowadays you find them in market centres doing a lot of nothing. If there are libraries nearby, 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."
