    "content": "was here that the major Saba Saba was held which changed the political direction of this country from a dictatorship one-party system to a multiparty system. Over the years, people go to those grounds as holy political place where they can express themselves. However, in recent years, Kamukunji has been neglected. It risks being grabbed. What I am urging now is for this House to make sure that these grounds are preserved, protected and made a national monument which we can all be proud of. Thousands of Kenyans have given their lives so that we can be free and thousands of Kenyans have suffered and gone to prison so that we can be free. It is here where Jomo Kenyatta, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, Tom Mboya and many of our political icons rallied the Kenyan people. It is here the second generation of our liberators also rallied our public. So, this is a very important ground. We should make sure that it is preserved and kept for prosperity for the future generations of our country. We should make sure it becomes a place where every Saba Saba day all Kenyans can proudly go, celebrate and mark this important occasion. Thank you."
