    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill is about the Kenyatta Mausoleum, which is where the body of the founder of this nation is preserved. That is the building adjacent to the Main Parliament Buildings, on Plot No.209/544. It measures approximately 4.48 acres along Parliament Road. It is within the Central Business District in the precincts of Parliament. This Bill is about opening up that mausoleum to the public, so that people can learn the history of the founding father of this nation. Secondly, there are very many local and international tourists who have interest in pre- independence and post-independence Kenyan history, especially during the times of the founding father of this nation. Once this Bill becomes law, we will generate revenue from that particular venture even thought that is not the main purpose of this Bill. The late President Kenyatta Mausoleum will be self-sustaining. Unlike other sites which are managed by the National Museums of Kenya, and in respect of which we use taxpayers’ money to sustain their operations and maintain them, this mausoleum is capable of meeting its bills and having a surplus."
