    "content": "individuals to benefit from this particular process. It is mandatory for this to be done as per the provision of the Constitution so that people know who are appointed for those particular purposes. Once they have enlisted the individuals, the Bill provides for members of the public to give their views about the individuals that appear in the list. This is mandatory. They are not allowed to submit the list until it is subjected to public participation. The Bill provides for the county assembly to come up with a legislation that will allow this process to be smooth. For example, at the county level, it is good to legalize and formalize the process of coming up with a County Hall of Fame Bill at that level so that things are done procedurally and covered within the law. The Bill provides for the Committee to keep and maintain a register so that if tomorrow there is a claim, it can be followed to make sure that things are done procedurally and within the law. In Clause 16, the Bill provides for the procedure for removal of an individual whenever there is a complaint against them. In Clause 20, the Bill provides for offences, for example, Clause 20 (a) states that:- “A person who falsely represents himself or herself as having been inducted into a county hall of fame commits an offence and is liable on conviction, to a fine not exceeding one million shillings or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to both such fine and imprisonment”. Finally, Clause 21 provides that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) should provide regulations so that this particular legislation is implemented as provided for. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that this is an important document and legal framework that will recognize our elderly retirees, heroes and heroines who have contributed to this country. It will make sure that they live a better life. We normally have Madaraka Day or Mashujaa Day where these individuals are recognized. However, counties do not have proper structures to identify these individuals for purposes of that kind of recognition. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and request Sen. Sakaja to second this Bill."
