    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will be very brief because I am not a historian, and I do not have a lot of history to go into. If it was mathematics, I would have delved into it. I support this Bill and commend Hon. Muthomi for coming up with it. Jomo Kenyatta is not just an ordinary Kenyan, but a great Kenyan. He was the founder of this nation. Without him, we would not have a country to celebrate as we do. He laid a strong foundation of nationalism in this country and brought up a society which is cohesive. Previously, we existed as different ethnic groups but under the leadership of the first government of Jomo Kenyatta, we were able to come together as a nation. Such history should never be forgotten. Even in terms of the economy, we need to remember Jomo Kenyatta. In the East African region and Africa as a whole, Kenya is strong economically because of the strong foundation that was laid by the founding President of this country, Jomo Kenyatta. That is why it is important to build this mausoleum and have a Bill to guide in its management."
