    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to send my message of condolence to the family of the late Hon. Member, and with your permission, I will go ahead and do that. I am glad for getting this opportunity to send my message of condolence to the family of the late Hon. Samuel Motari. It is interesting that our records are not as clear as they should be. It does not matter that the late Hon. Samuel only served for two years from 1977 to 1979. The passing of that Hon. Member reminds us, as Shakespeare said, that this world is a stage and each one of us will get onto that stage, do their performance and when it is time to go, they will go. So, what we can do as a House, is to put up a hall of fame. If we will not be able to put up a hall of fame, it will be in order for us to, at least, have a wall of fame to honour all those Members of Parliament who have served in this House. As you would understand, out of the 12 terms that people have served in this House, I am sure we are not more than 3,000 Kenyans who have had the opportunity to serve in this House. I believe that the names of those Hon. Kenyans who have had the opportunity to serve their people in this House can be immortalised somewhere. If it does not find a place in the precincts of Parliament, I believe that the new heroes centre that we are building in Nairobi along Lang’ata Road can be an amazing place where we can immortalise the names of all living Members and the Members who have passed on from this House who had the opportunity to serve in their time.
