    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, these are the things we are talking about that can never be recognized at the national level. In other jurisdictions, maybe that man would have been taken to a serious research institution to help medical researchers to understand the herbs he used to preserve the body. The herbs could then be improved by modern science to help medics in their work. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will not forget because I heard while Sen. Murkomen was moving the Bill talk about the world beaters from Iten and most parts of the Rift Valley. Where I come from, we also have people who have excelled in other fields. I remember my friend Isaac Kalua who is a serious conservationist with the Green Foundation. He does so well in reforestation. These are people whom the County Hall of Fame should recognize and honour. I foresee one conflict with this Bill. Once it becomes law and every county establishes their County Hall of Fame, some of the things that will be populating that hall will be artifacts from our counties. You will agree with me that the National Museum is the custodian of a lot of artifacts from different counties in this country. If, for example, the county of Narok has any artifacts in the National Museum the County Hall of Fame in Narok may want their repatriation. There will be need to deal with that issue to ensure we do not deplete our National Museum but at the same time enrich our county halls of fame. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I like what Sen. Murkomen said that once a name finds its way to the County Hall of Fame, it does not stay there forever. If one misbehaves, there is a criterion for its removal. That aligns very well---. Without dragging you into this debate, you subscribe to the Christians Faith. You remember the words of Apostle Paul in writing to the church in Galatia and telling them: “You foolish Galatians, who bewitched you? Having started in the Spirit, are you going to finish in the flesh? Before your own eyes Christ was portrayed as crucified.” It is not an end in itself to begin well and be enlisted in the County Hall of Fame. There is a responsibility and duty on their part to continue being good citizens. Otherwise, you do not do so well for the county and once your name is listed you start behaving otherwise. When that happens you lose your slot in the County Hall of Fame."
