    "content": "This is the convergence I was talking about earlier; that where we have historical buildings or museums within the counties as we debated in the Bill previously--- If these are set up, then this is an area where this Bill can find convergence. We do not need different houses to host artifacts and these halls of fame when we already have historical buildings and houses of heritage. There are some areas for improvement in this Bill, but I support it. I support the idea that we can get to know the history of our people. We can get to hear the stories of people who have contributed most to our environment and shaped it. When we were debating the Motion by Sen. Mwaura on the late hon. Matiba, I was shocked to learn a lot of things that I never knew. What Sen. (Prof.) Kamar has said is true; that we learn more about Europe and our neighbours than we do of ourselves in our school education system. In fact, last week I was in Uganda and visited the Kingdom of Buganda. I realized that we learnt about it school, yet I do not know, through history, the strides that the late hon. Matiba did to shape this country to where we are today. It is a democracy that we absolutely enjoy, and is the reason some of us have made it to this House of Parliament. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Bill with amendments. I thank the proposer of the Bill for bringing it to this House. I pray that it will see the light of day when history is transmitted to our young people, so that they can understand where we are at today. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
