    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to join other Members who have already contributed to this very important Bill. First, I want to congratulate the Mover of the Bill, Hon. Njuki. I also want to join one young Mheshimiwa who said she has been to America and has said much about President Kennedy’s home. I have also visited that home. It has taken a long time to come up with this idea of opening up the mausoleum of the founding father of this nation. The idea is good, although it has been delayed for a long time. Kenyatta did this country proud. Some of us who saw or worked with him after getting our Independence appreciate that he was a great man. We have underplayed his popularity. If we had taken up this issue earlier, people would have known what Independence meant. The late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta left us with his own son who is ruling this country with a lot of development experience. As far as he is concerned, he wants to turn this country into a developed country. Kenyatta must be remembered and the mausoleum should be open to every Kenyan and visitors, so that they can learn about our country. Some of us who went for the second liberation to bring freedom of speech and association should support this Bill."
