    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to second the Kenya National Library Service Bill, 2020. As the Leader of the Majority Party has clearly indicated, this Bill seeks to repeal the Kenya National Library Service Board Act which has been around for the last 54 years. It is a very old Act. This Bill is long overdue. It also takes into consideration that the Bill needs to be aligned to our Constitution, 2010. The Bill provides for the establishment of the Kenya National Library Service to repeal or to replace the Kenya National Library Service Board. This Bill takes into consideration the changes that have occurred in the library sector, devolution and other constitutional dictates. Pursuant to Standing Order 127(3) and Article 118 of the Constitution, the Committee placed an advertisement in the newspapers on 30th April 2020. The Committee received memoranda from two entities, namely, the State Department of Culture and Heritage, and the Kenya Library and Information Professionals Association. All their proposals were deliberated on and considered by the Committee. This is contained in the Committee Report which was tabled in this House. The Committee did have a number of observations during its public participation and engagement. As the Leader of the Majority Party has indicated, the Committee will be making quite a number of proposed amendments to the Bill. It is our wish that this House will take them 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."
