    "content": "Kenyatta suffered a lot for this country. He travelled out of this country to negotiate for the Independence of this country. It is high time we opened the mausoleum to the public. Let our children understand the history of this country. Other countries, like Members have mentioned, recognise what their leaders did for them. Our country now needs to know why the Committee that planned for the funeral of the late President decided to inter his remains in a public place. They could have interred them in Uhuru Park or somewhere in Gatundu, but they opted for Parliament. This is because Parliament is a symbol of the rights and justice for the people. Since this House has taken a long time to legislate on this issue, I agree with Hon. Muthomi Njuki that it is high time the mausoleum was opened to the public. The mausoleum will generate a lot of money for us. If you go to countries like China or Japan, they boast of their history. It is time that, we, in Africa, and particularly in Kenya, looked at our history as a tourist attraction. With those few remarks, I support."
