    "content": "So, the Presidential Award Scheme should really recognise that the President is the most important office comprising our nationhood and, therefore, we need to recognise performance. It should be an all-encompassing system of recognising performance across the board from leadership, production, workers, teachers, students and young people. This is the most important thing. The kind of Board we are talking about should bring on board persons who in one way or another will help contribute to the development of a policy. We have heard Kenyans who say that we are very poor in recognising and awarding heroes in this country. When you go to other countries, you will find there are even statues recognising past contributions by their heroes. This is what we really look forward to. It is really about ensuring that we recognise outstanding performance that help generate our nationhood, promote our national goals and help the country to realise its visions and goals as stipulated under our constitution and various policy frameworks. With those remarks, I want to say that is a good initiative but we should possibly think critically on how we can expand the scope of the Presidential Award Scheme so that it can help the country recognise good performance across the board. With those remarks, I beg to support."
