    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Bill which comes at a very interesting time. It is true that different counties have different priorities in terms of economic and socio-cultural priorities. What speaks to, touches or is important to the people of one county may not necessarily speak to, touch or be important to the people of another county. It is only right and intelligent that the County Hall of Fame Bill (Senate Bill No. 33 of 2014) be left at the county level. This is because it is the people of that county who know who has done what in that community. There are unique counties like Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru where there is a convergence of cultures and the entire strata of the middle to high class. What will be communicated and appreciated, for example, by the people of Nairobi could probably be somebody who will come up with a lasting solution to the perennial traffic jam or the garbage issue. These kinds of issues will not be appreciated in a county like Turkana or West Pokot where they do not as yet experience these problems. It is only proper that those who make the contribution in Nairobi County be left to its people to choose. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
