    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also stand to support this Bill. From the outset, let me say that if there is a Bill that ought to have been brought to this House earlier, it is this Tourism Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I only want to mention a few issues: First, the Ministry must be on the frontline to fight on matters of security. Without good security, we will never go far. The Ministry must also push for improved infrastructure, specifically in those areas where we have tourism sites. Some of them are not developed. An example is the River Rupingazi. I doubt whether anybody in this House knows that that river which is very big, at one stage, on its way down passes underground. You walk on dry zones, and yet the river flows in big volumes. These are some of the sites I believe the Ministry can do a lot to market. If people find this mystery of a river going underground – a natural bridge – it will attract local and foreign tourists. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, publicity is not yet enough because even within the Kenyan citizens, few may be aware that Lake Bogoria has hot water throughout the year. It is a mystery. We need positive publicity so that even if we do not attract foreign tourists, we can attract local tourists. There is a lot that I would have said, but I would like to support this Bill and stop there. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."
