    "content": "I also wish to thank the Speaker, hon. Marende, for his very strategic leadership which disentangled the project from endless debates, both within and outside the House. The team from the Ministry of Public Works, led by Architect Maweu, also has to be commended. Your Excellency, on a day like this, it is incumbent upon us to congratulate some of the unsung heroes that Kenya has produced. I know that Architect James Kimathi is sitting somewhere in the Gallery. I want to thank this gallant son of Kenya for what he has achieved in leading the team of consultants. In the field of architecture, a majority live to retire in their advanced years without delivering a notable project, least of all a national monument like this one. But Architect James Kimathi, a Kenyan, a humble and very dedicated Kenyan, has so far delivered two outstanding national monuments in two countries. Not many Kenyans know that Architect Kimathi was the leader of the team that delivered the ultra modern Tanzania Parliament in Dodoma. Your Excellency, this architectural edifice is acclaimed both in Africa and in the Commonwealth and that is the work of a Kenyan. We truly need to take time to congratulate this gallant son of Kenya. Where is Architect Kimathi? He is up there. I would never pretend to qualify to tell you what you should or should not do, but with ultimate humility, allow me to suggest that this quiet, humble and highly talented Kenyan and his team truly deserve national honours."
