    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I take this opportunity to also celebrate the heroes that we have had in recent times. We are proud of Eliud Kipchoge and other leaders that have followed suit. We do not forget. I would like us never to forget that we used to have the East African Safari Rally which is no longer there. Maybe it is coming back. As I was growing up, we used to admire Joginder Singh. That was a name. It has since disappeared. I would like us to recall the great men and women of this country that have played a very important role because they are role models. Our young boys and girls will be like them. We should never forget them because in other countries, these people are remembered. They are part of the history of a nation. We need to remember these heroes not only during celebrations like Mashujaa Day but we also need books written about them so that our children can read about them in schools. They are part of our history and heritage. We must remember everybody who has played a big role. Musicians die without being known yet they played a big role during their time. Their songs are used during campaigns. We have to think about the singers, athletes and writers. The late Grace Ogot was a politician and a great writer. We must remember some of the great men and women in our nation. They are part of our history that we should never forget. We need to write books about them for our children and the future generations to know who they were so that they can also emulate the work of our heroes. That is my contribution. Thank you for the opportunity."
