    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to move that the Heritage and Museums Bill (Senate Bills No.8 of 2023) be now read a Second Time. The Bill was published on 28th February, 2023 and read a First Time in the Senate on 22nd March, 2023. Paragraph 25 of Part 1 of the Fourth Schedule the Constitution designates ancient and historical monuments of national importance as part of the functions of the national Government. Paragraph 4 of page two of the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution states that activities, public entertainment and public amenities include museums and are a function of the county governments. The principal object of the Bill is, therefore, to repeal the National Museums and Heritage Act and enact a new Bill that conforms to the Constitution. The Bill proposes- (1) To retain the National Museum of Kenya already established under the National Museums and Heritage Act, 2006. (2) Provide for county museums. (3) Provide for the preservation and protection and the management of cultural and natural heritage at national and county levels of government. (4) Repeal the National Museums and Heritage Act, 2006."
