    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Ochieng’ just wanted to speak. We were very united then and are still united. We are not as fragmented as other countries in the African continent. We do not have civil war in Kenya. That is a sign of the unity that we have in Kenya. Under President Uhuru Kenyatta, we have already united in the Jubilee Party. We expect others to unite, so that we can go to elections united looking for the one position which the Jubilee Party will get, anyway. There is no doubt about that. I want to go back to the Kenyatta Mausoleum Bill. In Germany, you will find the Berlin Wall. They have made it into a nice museum or mausoleum to commemorate what happened between East and West Germany. It is the same when you go to Rome. I have been to Rome and all the cities in Italy. They have museums in each and every town. In many places, you want to just sit there and enjoy the scenery, for example, the Sistine Chapel. In the United States of America (USA), you will probably see the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. We need to do much more because we are just recognising one of the Kapenguria Six. We need to think about how we can honour the other Kapenguria Six like Achieng’ Oneko, Paul Ngei and the rest. We probably need to devolve the mausoleum to Meru. We have Gen. Baimunge, who was a freedom fighter from the Meru Community during the Mau Mau period. He contributed to the fight for the Independence of this country. We also need to recognise the Mau Mau veterans because most of them are wallowing in poverty yet they fought for our Independence. We should establish more museums. We should also allocate the Mau Mau veterans some land. That will be a good thing to do. It is a good Bill. I beg to stop to allow others to contribute."
