    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also support this issue. I have travelled to a few countries in the world and I marvel at how some countries have managed to preserve the work of their heroes and heroines. Sometimes it really inspires the generations that come after. When you travel, before you are engaged in the official duties, some countries will take you to their museums and show you a few things about their country. It helps a bit for history’s sake and for one to understand where that country is coming from. Recently, we started a database of our heroes and heroines. I wish we could remove the bias. Society is shaped by both positive and negative aspects, but we need to bring forth those we thought were negative and also those we thought were positive. This is because both are contributors of what a nation becomes. A nation is the sum total of the choices of its people. I want to urge ourselves that as a way forward we need to document the work of our heroes and heroines without bias. That way, future generations will conceptualise where Kenya has come from, who participated in what and they will also be inspired to contribute.
