    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to move this Bill. This Bill is now being moved I think a third or fourth time since we came to the Senate. It is one of the Bills that lapsed because it was not processed by the National Assembly on time during the previous Parliament. It was also affected by the High Court ruling and that is why I am moving it. I think this is the third time. I will not spend a lot of time to repeat because the HANSARD speaks for itself in as far as the contents of this Bill are concerned. I must acknowledge because I believe in attributing credit where it is due. This was not my Bill. It was sponsored by Hon. Sang who is now the Governor of Nandi. He is the one who moved it during the previous term. I cannot remember whether it was in his capacity as the Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights or as an individual but I suspect it was a personal Bill. I inherited this Bill from him. That is why I am moving it now for the second time. I hope it will not be affected again when the term of this Parliament comes to an end, so that I move it again in the next Senate, or maybe somebody else will inherit it. The County Hall of Fame Bill came about because there was a feeling that even as we have recognition of heroes and heroines in the country, there is need for us to have a mechanism at the county level where persons who have made significant contributions in the development of our various counties can be recognised. In most cases, before one gets presidential recognition, it takes a long process which is not even clear. You must know---"
