    "content": "When Mzee Jomo Kenyatta passed on in 1978, he was laid to rest within the compound of Parliament Buildings. No one knows what is inside that tomb. You cannot even tell if the body is there or not. It should have been taken a notch higher to include some information that would enable people to know our history. Students visit Parliament quite often. You have just recognised a school from Chuka. They should also get an opportunity to visit that heritage sight so that they can know about the history of our country. We should have artefacts belonging to the late Jomo Kenyatta, like his fly whisk displayed there. We can also have attendants taking visitors through the history of our Parliament and the country. The mausoleum can be a tourist attraction. We will also create employment as there will be people to manage the mausoleum and others to guide visitors. The mausoleum can be under the National Museums of Kenya. People will further understand our heritage. We should also address other historical sites that should be incorporated in the Kenyatta Mausoleum to expand our tentacles to other parts of the country. We have Fort Jesus, the National Museums and the Kenya National Archives. We also have sites in rural areas that are rich in history. We have areas where kingdoms were established. For example, the Kikuyu people have an area where Mumbi and Gikuyu first lived. All these places should be secured for national heritage sights. They should be put under the same Act. They should all be conserved so that people can know the history of the various communities in the country, including that of the Mijikenda people.
