    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I think I have become KANU original although I am maybe the youngest. I believe that we need to protect our heritage. This is a national heritage and when I become emotional, I think we are an independent country; we have our heritage; we have our identity. We cannot lose our identity. If these organizations have money and I know they are making money, let them start their own stadia. Let them build their own stadia! Let them not come and whitewash our heritage. When in the last Parliament I was the Minister for Sports, I refused the change of “Nyayo Stadium” to “Coca Cola Stadium” because I believe we need to protect the heritage of this country. We need to protect the names because it is our heritage. It is our history. It is nothing political. Thank you for giving me this opportunity because I was wondering why you were not giving me a chance. The one of Safaricom in Kasarani has not improved. Let us maintain the name “Moi International Sports Center”. Let us maintain the name “Kenyatta International Conference Center” (KICC). Tuchunge nchi yetu because it is our heritage. We can raise money. So, naomba kabisa because it is nothing political; it is the heritage of this country. I now see that you have nothing against me. I was beginning to feel that I do not want to be ridiculed because I am a senior Member. So, my heart is clean now. I was beginning to wonder, kwani when I say secondary schools--- I know I am a very capable leader. I go to those schools. Hon. Were is talking to the Ministry, let there be no bureaucracy. Hii maneno ya chakula, let it be given to the people. People should not die. I know he is not the Government but he is the Chairman of the Committee that will deal with those issues so that our people do not die and then we protect our heritage."
