    "content": "require a lift being put into a tall building that never had one before or some staircases have cracked or the paint has fallen off and the building requires painting. That must be factored in the Budget that we normally have in this House when we come up with budgets for various items. Another reason for maintenance is that you also want to clear the environment and make it clean and healthy for occupants. Sometimes, we may need to maintain a building for historical purposes. It may be a very old building like Fort Jesus and you do not want to do a modern Fort Jesus. You just want to make it look old, because it is old, and has a historical background and that many people visit the site. We can maintain it and keep the old image of the building because it has that historical aspect. As we talk about maintaining buildings and putting money aside to do that, we must also look at the aesthetics of it. What does it bring about historically? What do we want to preserve? What do we want people to remember the building for? If it is a museum, let it be old looking, but well looked after. If it is a modern skyscraper, let it be a modern type. All the same, whatever we do with a building, it must be safe, clean and healthy for the people who occupy it. I support the Sessional Paper."
