    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support this amendment. I remember when we were previously speaking about this amendment, we were doing away with Utamaduni Day. I noted that it was a little bit confusing, and we did not know what exactly it was about. I am glad that it is coming out as Mazingira Day. I agree with Hon. Oundo, and I also agreed with him on that day. Mzee Moi, the second President of the Republic of Kenya did many things that we remember him for. Where I come from, if you go to the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, it is like you are seeing Mzee Moi. When you go to the Moi International Airport or the beautiful girls’ and boys’ schools, including but not limited to Kapsabet Boys High School, you see Moi. Mazingira Day is an important day that we need to cultivate and add to our culture so that we can practise environmental conservation and planting of trees, which is an objective of this Government. I agree that we should call it Mazingira Day, but at the back of our minds, you can never delete what Moi did and what that day represented for very many years, even when we used to sing."
