    "content": "will be an exciting thing for them. That will keep them creative, innovative and they will easily connect with the world and remain relevant. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support this idea because as Africans, we have lost a lot. When we were colonised, we lost almost everything that we had in terms of our culture and tradition, and we adapted the western culture. It is now hard for us and our generation to go back, and it will even be harder for the younger generation. The only way that we can be relevant as Africans is by coming up with our museums so that our young people or the generations that will come after us will be able to see what was happening in the past and also relate with the history and learn from that. Museums are places to explore and test ideas about the natural world. Our country is endowed. We are blessed with different cultures, traditions and languages. We are all proud of where we have come from, but nothing much has been done in terms of keeping history and showcasing what we have had in the past. Therefore, displaying those things today in our museums will be the best thing that we can do as a country. Hon. Temporary Speaker, when it comes to science and research, we are also gifted. Kenyans are very knowledgeable in research, but many of our young people who have that skill have not utilized their skills. If we do this in every county, we will utilize the skills of our young people and even those who are experienced so that we can come up together and even explore more ideas, do enough research and see how we can benefit our country. Hon. Temporary Speaker, today, cancer is affecting the entire world. As Kenyans, we have been seriously affected. For those of us who come from the northern part of this country, especially Marsabit, we have been wondering why we are losing so many of our people to cancer. It will be good for us to engage in more research and invite experts so that we can know the root cause of our problem. The only special gift that we can give to our young people and generations to come is to establish a science museum in every county."
