    "content": "I understand you now, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Thank you for that correction. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the County Hall of Fame (Senate Bills No.9 of 2021) be read a Second Time. As I said, this is a Bill that is meant to provide a framework through which we can recognize persons who have made significant contribution to the development of our counties. This is the point I was trying to make. By the time one gets national recognition, whether it is Chief of the Order of the Burning Spear (CBS), Elder of the Order of the Burning Spear (EBS), Elder of the Order of the Golden Heart of Kenya (EGH), Moran of the Order of the Burning Spear (MBS) or Head of State Commendation (HSC)--- There is a man who was recognized I think in 2018 if I am not wrong. He was awarded an HSC for eating his own githeri and queuing to vote. He did nothing significant but people decided that he should be awarded an HSC. There are also people who got HSCs for just running a Twitter account. I think people were fascinated that somebody had about 500,000 followers on Twitter and they were awarded HSC apparently because they are bloggers. That was almost like a national shame and scandal. If you are somewhere in Narok, or Rumuruti in Laikipia or a placed called Chekobei in Elgeyo-Marakwet County and do not know anybody, if the District Officer (DO), District Commissioner (DC), or County Commissioner does not like your name, nobody will recognize you. Even if the County Commissioner forwards your name but people feel that you come from a politically incorrect area, nobody will recognize you."
