    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to support the County Hall of Fame Bill (Senate Bill No. 33 of 2014), which has been brought to the Floor of this House by Sen. Sang. This is a very important Bill as it seeks to provide a framework for the recognition of persons who have made significant contribution to the county or our country. We know that in the past, people have been recognised at the national level and counties have been forgotten. I say so because of devolution. We have devolved governance to counties and, therefore, we have to give them autonomy to choose persons of integrity who have contributed greatly to this country in different forms. For instance, in my county, Trans Nzoia, we have a man called Elijah Wanameme. He was a great man and people idolized him. He passed on but what he said came true. We also have many who died like Matungulu who was a great musician. After you are buried, people forget you. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would also propose that we should rewrite the history of great people in the counties and, may be, name them after schools and universities just the way we have Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology. 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."
