    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this Petition by Hon. Yusuf Hassan, Member for Kamukunji. At the outset, I support this Petition. It is timely, considering the achievements of the late Hon. (Prof.) Wangari Muta Maathai. As the Committee looks into this Petition, it is important that we have criteria for naming important places. When Hon. (Dr.) Chris Wamalwa tries to justify the naming of a street in honour of a trade unionist, Mr. Francis Atwoli, we cannot put Hon. (Prof.) Wangari Maathai in the same category with Francis Atwoli. That is an abuse. That is why many Kenyans feel that the naming of a street in honour of Mr. Atwoli is not justified. This is a very important Petition. We should not trivialize it to the level of Atwoli issues. We need to have criteria for naming important places and streets. It is not about waking up in the morning and naming a street or some place in honour of anybody. With those few remarks, I support the Petition."
