    "content": "If we start to promote our culture, diversity, artefacts and museums of history in our counties, we could already diversify a very important income generating aspect through our cultural tourism and other ways that we could support and diversify other income streams for own source revenue for the counties. We do not have to stop at just collecting things and putting them somewhere or honouring people and leaving it at that. It becomes not only a source of history, but also revenue. There is also an aspect of learning and how it links to our school system. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. spoke about the historical heroes that were forgotten and the fact that our children learn outside history. They learn the history of the blacks, racism, the United States of America, as opposed to our own history, which is very rich and needs to be captured. This Hall of Fame becomes a virtuous circle as opposed to a place where we have something that we place there. For those reasons, I support this Bill. However, we need to make sure that it is enhanced, so that it gives us what we need. We need the resources, historical learning, research and repository of information and place of safe guarding our culture and celebrating ourselves. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support."
