    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to speak on this Bill. I want to thank Hon. Njuki for bringing it to the House. The late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta was not only a nationalist for Kenya, but for Africa. Jomo Kenyatta was respected all over the world. Some of us miss his commands during national functions. The mausoleum should be opened to the public. Personally, I have also not seen the body of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. I am not sure that most of the Members of Parliament have seen his body. I am also not sure that the body of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta is in that mausoleum until I see it. It is good that Hon. Njuki brought this Bill to the House. I thank him very much for bringing it. I support that the mausoleum should be opened to all Kenyans and foreigners. Sometimes, tourists who come to this country are idle while in Nairobi. Once the mausoleum is open, many of them will visit it. When they go back, they will say that they saw the body of the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta who fought for the Independence of this country. Hon. Deputy Speaker, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and others like the father of Hon. Raila Odinga, Mzee Oginga Odinga, Seroney, Masinde Muliro and others played an important role in the fight for the freedom of this country. Their names should also be brought on board, so that our children can know that these people fought together with the founding father to bring Independence to this country. If it is open, our children, who are now witnessing us making contributions in this House, will visit the mausoleum of the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta within Parliamentary premises. With those few remarks, I support this Bill."
