    "content": "One thing that is never said is that the USA recognises citizens who have made contributions to the nation. Dolly Parton was not there as a musician but as a promoter of literacy among young people across the USA through a foundation she established that ensures children get the opportunity to read. In fact, what we should think about as a country is how to promote literacy. With the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC), we can promote literacy beyond the desire to do examinations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you remember, since you were there, the Governor of Tennessee gave way to Dolly Parton. She was recognized in Nashville and a street named after her. Those are the things we need to do; to provide a forum that will encourage citizens in our counties to want to do good for humanity. For example, if you do good, you will be inducted to Iten or Elgeyo-Marakwet Hall of Fame. Your name will be there because of the things you have done. This is a very important Bill, and I do not know why our brothers and sisters in the National Assembly delayed it, because it provides framework. If you were to leave every county to imagine or think whether or not they want to have this, they may never think. There are so many things that we have planted in our counties through legislation, for example, the County Governments Act. We have made it possible that we have a County Governments Act that provides for County Assembly Public Service Board and municipal Boards."
