    "content": "On inclusiveness, this will give us an opportunity to even embrace other heroes like Oginga Odinga, Tom Mboya, Jeremiah Nyaga and many more others. I would like to mention Jeremiah Segero of Shinyalu and Moses Amalemba from Ikolomani. Those people have made a contribution that will never be known about. If we can include them, it will be fair. You cannot finish the story of Kenyatta without mentioning Jeremiah Segero who was a Paramount Chief in Kakamega. Up to today, Jeremiah Segero has a bunker that is constructed in his home. That bunker, which he had prepared for Kenyatta to stay in after Kapenguria, remains there. Kenyatta never found an opportunity to live in that bunker. That is a monument, as far as I am concerned, that Kenyans need to discover. Kenyans need to embrace it. Imagine that another Kenyan was thinking about Kenyatta and here we are losing those memories! It is very important we embrace this Bill and build on it so that even the Kenyatta Day of 22nd August is reconciled with the other Kenyatta day we have always talked about. This day, 22nd August is very important. Imagine how many Kenyans do not recognise or even note it. It is important we bring it on board so that Kenyans can celebrate not just the life of Kenyatta, but also the attributes we have been able to draw from his contribution as the founding father of this nation. Then, we will also have started a tradition of appreciating ourselves. As Kenyans, we never have time to celebrate our Kenyan-hood. This Bill should give us the opportunity to appreciate our culture, formation, identity and diversity and celebrate it. With those few remarks, I support. Thank you."
