    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have the Mzee Jomo Kenyatta Mausoleum. We honour the old man because he fought for our freedom but we need to move further and honour other great men and women in the country. For instance, we should have a mausoleum for Paul Ngei in Eastern Province and another one for Mr. Stanley Oloitiptip. The mausoleums can also be tourist attraction centres and foreigners can also visit them. The mausoleums can also create employment for the people who will be taking care of them. Joe Kadenge was great and we need to remember him. He used to play football. Even those who were not born then know about him. We have athletes who bring honour to our country. Eldoret is now the city of heroes but there is nothing to show for it. We should have mausoleums for our athletes in the North Rift. If you visit the Far East, you will find people telling you that Kenya is a country of heroes because our athletes have brought glory to our country. This is the case and yet we only hear about them on TVs and radios. I support this Bill. I hope we will do better than we have done in the past. Last year, there was an error when His Excellency the President read out the names of people to be honoured. I hope that will not happen again. We should honour our brothers, sisters, fathers and grandfathers who have brought us honour."
