    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet County is scaring some of us. He says that from May, Senators who will be found in this Chamber will be the ones who will have given up. I do not know what that means because I intend to be here in May to continue with the work that the people of Kitui County gave me to do in this Senate. I am very sure I will come back as the Senator for Kitui County after the 9th August elections. So, we will prove the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet County wrong on that score. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to second the County Hall of Fame Bill, 2021. In seconding this Bill, I will make a few general comments and then go to the specifics of the Clauses in the Bill. I will begin from where the Mover began, that this is not the first time that we are interacting with this Bill. We did it two years ago and made our comments, which are safe in the HANSARD. Since it has to be moved afresh to comply with a court order, I am glad that the responsibility of seconding this Bill afresh has fallen on me. Recognition is a good thing. When we recognise achievement, it is part of positive reinforcement. You give people the urge and determination to do better in the area they have been recognized and rewarded. The County Hall of Fame is supposed to be established in every county in this country. It is supposed to be a big source for positive reinforcement in all spheres of life in our counties. These spheres should not be limited to just sports and awards by county governors and other big offices in counties. It should also extend to even academics. I would expect the best candidate in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Examination (KCPE) in Kitui County, to be recognized and his or her name put in the list of Kitui County Hall of Fame for that year. It should be the same for the best boy and girl in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). There are also other institutions in our counties, especially schools, that have a track record in performance. They are trailblazers in academic performance. Those institutions should also make to the list of the County Hall of Fame."
