    "content": "Clause 21 is important because it creates a progress aspect of improving on this Bill and ensuring that the county executive committee member with the approval of the county assembly can overtime continue to undertake provisions to ensure that this Bill is put into place. This also ensures that there is a methodology of dealing with conflict resolution and ensuring that the procedure for consideration for petitions is taken seriously. The number of persons who may be included in the county hall of fame is controlled. This is where I would like to join other Senators in encouraging the recognition of women who have done things that entitle them to be in that hall of fame. Clause 21 (2) (e) is not clear. I think it needs to be looked into. It states the manner in which an induction into a county hall of fame may be suspended or revoked. As we go into Committee of the Whole, we might want to make an amendment to that particular clause so that it is clear. It would also be important to look at the definition of the “county hall of fame” and probably expand it more because as I read the Bill, it is not clear to me whether it is a hall somewhere, for example, in Oslo Norway where the Nobel Peace Prize laureates have been recognized. There are candles lit and history is given about them or whether it is going to be about naming roads after some people. That definition does not bring the dynamism of what the county hall of fame might be and we need to be a little clearer as we move to amendments so that it is very specific. The idea that we can educate our Members and preserve historical documents is very key especially in our country because the history of this country is what will hold and bind us together as we move forward. The representation of the Committee is also inclusive. However, as other Senators have said, let us not just put a lot of emphasis on a governor only. In fact, there seems to be a contradiction when you look at Clause 7 which is about the functions of the selection committee. That particular committee will make recommendations to the governor. The governor is not part of it. There is a lot to and from that might create a little bit of confusion. The fame selection committee should include other levels of leadership including the governor. If he cannot attend meetings, then, he could have representation that could articulate a particular view point will need to be put into consideration. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few comments, I beg to support."
