    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Njuki for coming up with this noble Bill. It is a good idea to have the Kenyatta Mausoleum because Jomo Kenyatta fought for the freedom of this country. We should put that historical fact into the minds of our children. The mausoleum will promote patriotism. Countries like China have also conserved their history. People visit South Africa to learn about the history of Nelson Mandela. We do not have a place to learn about our history. It is, therefore, important for us to have such a place. A mausoleum also connects our next generations with this country’s history. Our children should know about our leaders and the history about the struggle for Independence. They should also be shown some of the items that the late Jomo Kenyatta used, including his pens and books. There are probably many items that are scattered in State House or in his house. It is very important to pass this Bill so that our future generations can know about Jomo Kenyatta. Thirdly, the mausoleum can serve as a tourist attraction. If dignitaries visit our mausoleum, they will know about the life of the late President Jomo Kenyatta. Hon. Deputy Speaker, we can even introduce some fee to be paid by those who visit the mausoleum. Kenyans can take their children to the mausoleum to learn about Jomo Kenyatta and know their history. With those few remarks, I support."
