    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that the history of any institution is key to evaluating its development over time; further aware that documenting history provides a knowledge back for future generations; noting that the history of the Parliament of Kenya is largely unrecorded, scattered and piecemeal; further noting that most comparable jurisdictions have elaborate records of their history which are periodically updated to capture new developments; cognisant of the fact that the Parliament of Kenya marks its 114 anniversary this year, having been established as the Legislative Council, popularly known as LEGCO, in August 1907; and further cognisant that the legislature has been transforming in the last century, both in mandate and composition, starting as a fused unicameral legislature to a bicameral one at Independence to a unicameral legislature before again reverting to a bicameral Parliament after the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya in 2010; recognising the many works of art, including statutes, murals and pictures connected with the history of the Parliament of Kenya, including the contributions of great men and women, families, architects and politicians throughout the 114 years of the history of the institution and its transformation and growth throughout the period; now therefore, in order to ensure preservation of the history of the institution for future generations, this House resolves — 1. That, at an appropriate stage, the House appoints a Committee comprising of not more than nine members to oversee the preservation of this history for prosperity, with special focus on the National Assembly.
