    "content": "Since we had read from the same author and we were avid readers of his books - and they are many especially The Da Vinci Code - which was critical about Catholicism, and in addition we are both Catholics and it really made fun of Jesus that he was married to Mary Magdalene and that he actually left the church in her hand, it was an icebreaker for both of us. I got to know him very well. This Bill will create an opportunity for our scholars. Many other people would like to invest in this field. I really want to appreciate people like the former Prime Minister, Hon. Raila Odinga. Through his Memoirs, An Enigma in Kenyan Politics, which is an autobiography about him written by a Nigerian writer - and even Flame of Freedom - I was able to get so much insight about Kenyan politics especially at Independence and even during Mzee Jomo Kenyatta’s era. This is important and it enables us to get insights about this country. Once we know our history for sure, we will also be well guided to where we are going. It is important that when we set up those libraries, we make them real libraries of our times. This is because we have to invest in digital libraries or what we call e-library. We must invest in modern library infrastructure and technologies so that we can get information from across the world on a 24-hour basis. This is because when people are sleeping in this part of the world, others are awake because of the time difference and our students and researchers are able to benefit. Therefore, I really hope that once those stations are enhanced or set up, they will conform to how libraries are run, managed and resourced across the world. With those few remarks, I support this Bill."
