    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We do not have Kisumu Town West Constituency, but Kisumu West Constituency. I would also like to thank my good friend, Hon. Njuki, for donating some time to me. We cannot overemphasise the importance of creating a mausoleum in honour of our first President, Jomo Kenyatta. I want to agree with my colleagues that we need to fine-tune this Bill during the Committee of the whole House by including provisions for dealing with vandalism. There are special artefacts that should be preserved. Unless we have provisions for dealing with people who want to destroy those artefacts, the Bill will be incomplete. If we are going to properly rewrite the history of Kenya in a way that our children, our next generations and our visitors can understand, we need a much bigger space than what is at the mausoleum within the compound of Parliament Buildings. Two days ago, I was passing by the mausoleum and there were tourists taking pictures. They were told by a Kenyan to stop taking pictures because they can be arrested. We need to understand these things. We also need to understand that in addition to politicians, there are other Kenyans who are heroes. In my home area, Mr. Okore Ogonda needs to be honoured."
