    "content": "Basically, the Bill provides for the establishment of the Kenya National Library Service. The previous Bill only looked at the board, but this one creates a national library service and provides a number of functions which are all listed within the Bill. It is a very comprehensive list of functions under Clause 5, which go a long way in defining what it can do or what it seeks and Parliament empowers it to do through enactment of this Bill. Let me highlight some of them and the fundamental one is to equip, develop, manage and maintain the Kenya National Library Service. Members may notice that the Kenya National Library Service has a new headquarters up the hill next to the Ministry of Transport, the corner just before Kenyatta National Hospital, opposite the Nairobi Area Police Station. That now becomes part of the service and one of its responsibilities is to equip. It is also empowered to acquire, reserve and maintain a collection of library resources including books produced within and outside Kenya and such other material source of knowledge necessary for a comprehensive national bibliography."
