The Municipal Council of Kiambu, a couple of years ago, had built a good hotel on top of where the cemetery was. As a representative of the people of Kiambu, both who are alive and those who are dead, I demand from the National Housing Corporation that it builds a monument in respect of the Mau Mau heroes who were buried at the Kiambu Cemetery to appease them for desecrating their graves. This Bill will also serve as a way of encouraging us to behave and act in ways that will make us heroes tomorrow. If I am a politician and I know that politicians will be awarded as heroes if they do their work as is required, I will definitely make every effort to do the same so that I am recognized as a hero. This applies to our sportsmen. We are very proud as a nation of our great runners - including hon. Korir who is seated here. He promised us that he was going to bring us a gold medal. I want to remind him that we are still waiting for it."}
