    "content": "solving skills, but I believe it is not fair to put it in law that such things are supposed to be checked. I hope it has been captured in The Hansard that we need to check such issues. I interact a lot with the Government library in my constituency in Embu, and the officers visit me many times. One of their key issues is lack of funding of their work. They even lack money for fuel. While we are talking about ensuring our national libraries work, it is important that the budget line is not only on paper, but is also taken seriously. Libraries are pertinent, as has been indicated by many speakers. If we do not encourage a reading culture, we will have a country of people who are not thinkers or writers. It is said that a reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. Many times, I have thought about how this country could change if many young people stopped social media obsession and embraced reading. It is through reading that we get writers. You cannot write if you do not read. I attended a very extravagant launch of a book by Hon. Millie Odhiambo, Rig or be Rigged . I got very much inspired that there is a need to write stories."
