    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this Bill. Opening up of the mausoleum to the public will enhance the revenue base, as Hon. Ali has said. A visit to the premise will excite most visitors, local and foreign and even children who have learnt the history of our nation since its inception to date. The children of our former colonial masters may also want to come and see the history of how Kenya attained its Independence and progress to date. This will enrich our identity externally by allowing many to give a different interpretation of our history. Our past is attractive. The struggle for Independence, the history of our founding fathers and what the future holds for Kenya in terms of looking at the past and the present is attractive. Our culture, just like the other nations, is very rich and needs to be nurtured. This needs to be nurtured for future generations. Most Kenyans have history that they are identified or associated with. This Bill is very good because it enhances revenue mechanism. A lot of income will be generated. This Bill requires a lot of seed funding to ensure that necessary things are done in order to facilitate the process of opening it up to the public. I support this Bill because as Hon. Injendi has put it, it gives us hope. Accessing the premise itself and building certain values enhances much of our livelihood."
