As I second this Bill, I am impressed with the collaboration between the National Government and county governments regarding what each is going to do. I would, however, be very happy to have an amendment that will recognize cultural libraries. If you look at the Article 11 (2) of the Constitution on libraries, it says:- “The State shall— (a) promote all forms of national and cultural expression through literature, the arts, traditional celebrations, science, communication, information, mass media, publications, libraries and other cultural heritage; (b) Recognise the role of science and indigenous technologies in the development of the nation; and (c) Promote the intellectual property rights of the people of Kenya.” It would be a good thing in this country to one day walk into cultural libraries of Merus . I am told that the Merus and Tharakas are cousins of the Kambas, but I cannot connect the dots as to where we parted ways. That can be easily found if we have a library showing how these communities came into being and how they share those cultures. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I second this Bill, it is important that we fast-track it, so that when Kenya has national holidays, we can also have cultural days, just as other jurisdictions. Can we have a day in this Republic when we can say that it is a Samburu or Kamba Cultural Day? Those are the things that I want to see in Kenya, just like in other countries. I beg to second."
