"content": "particularly what made our first President, the founder of this nation, call us together, so that we can now begin to ignore some of the forces that divide us so easily. We do not need to become a divided nation. We need to become a united nation, a nation that is proud of its diversity. This is going to be one of the best moments that we have had; the day we are going to open the mausoleum to the public. We can make several adjustments to create enough space for people to go there and learn our history, interact with the past and recognise that this nation is built on the sacrifice of blood. People fought and many died to bring us together. We do not need to fight again or kill one another. We need to begin to come together, forgive one another and embrace our diversity. When this happens, Kenya will become a shining star, shining country for other members within Africa to learn from us. We cannot afford to lose this history. He did not fight alone. We need to begin to think how to celebrate other heroes who stood with him, not just during the Heroes Day, but we should have a place where somebody can walk in any day and see portraits of all our heroes, what they stand for and the contribution they made to this nation. This is important for us and our children who know very little about our history. They know a lot about other countries and leaders outside Africa, but they do not know much about Kenya. This is a step in the right direction and I want to thank Hon . Njuki for bringing the Bill on time. Thank you very much. Let us hold this dearly to our hearts."
