    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to defend and also support my brother, Hon. KJ, for bringing up this Motion. Let us note that we need science in every sphere of our life. In the purported developed world, they have museums everywhere. For instance, I have a lot of interest in Athens, Greece, and I am proud of it. That is one of the countries that we need to go and benchmark on things to do with museums. If you go to Acropolis, Athens War Museum and Tate Britain Museum in London, you will find thousands of tourists visiting. There are many other museums that receive many visitors. Museums act as a key driver of economic growth in any country because of the tourists. Establishing a science museum will also help our learners and university students in advancing knowledge and leading to new discoveries and innovations in our country. Who said we cannot become innovative? Who said we cannot become more intelligent than the developed world? That is why I am supporting this Motion. Establishing a science museum will also help us live a better life than other countries. It will boost productivity in many aspects if we research on them. It will also facilitate us to access information. Where do we store information to do with discoveries? We have a lot of historical sites in our country. Where do we store such information? If we establish a science museum, we will be able to access a lot of necessary information, including our history. For example, if we want to get facts about our founding father President Kenyatta, where can we collect such information? We do not have museums that actually preserve our information and knowledge. Establishing a science museum will also help us to collect, preserve and display our significant scientific artefacts. That is why I am supporting the Motion. I am happy that my brother Hon. KJ, in bringing the Motion, has borrowed a lot from Greece by recognising the likes of Aristotle and Heraclitus, some of the Greek historians who made the world what it is today. With those few remarks, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I fully support this Motion."
