"content": "this country, so that those people who were not there at the time that these things were done, can see their pictures and read their memoirs? That is the only way that we can keep alive the history of Kenya. Madam Temporary Speaker, many awards, of course, are given on 1st June, 20th October and 12th December, but these people are normally forgotten. Those who will be in the committee for awarding people should come up with ideas and correctly identify Kenyans who deserve to be awarded. They should not just list people who have done very little to Kenya to be awarded those medals. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion, which is in good faith. We hope that she will continue winning other awards. However, this should not be seen as a one-community success. It is a Kenyan success. What I have noticed in Kenya and many other countries is that we identify with success, regardless of the community that you come from. The moment you hear that it is a Kenyan who has won, you feel that you belong to Kenya. This is one way of promoting nationalism. So, if we could have more of these people wining and more of these debates coming to the Senate, I am sure that we are going to have one cohesive Kenya. This is one country that we need to protect and this is one way of trying to promote nationalism. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
