are employed in counties should come from other counties and or communities. In this case, if heroes are to be honoured, it may not just be under the aegis of ethnic bastions. This is something we need to look at.

6 Aug 2019 in Senate:
Madam Temporary Speaker, we have the challenge of our country that I think this Bill seeks to address. This is because we seem to glorify those who are corrupt. After they have been able to pull down all the strings and limitations that may be provided within our judicial system, they end up occupying public office. In that case, they are glorified. There is no fame that you require than when people confer to you a public office to superintend over their public affairs. We see people who are involved in a corruption scandal, having a way of sanitizing themselves ...

There is the issue of the Ekeza Sacco where the proprietors are now trying to sanitise themselves. It may not be a wonder that eventually they will come to be elected into public office. We knew about the National Youth Service (NYS) and the products of its scandal. This Bill, maybe provides us with a modicum or surety that those who do good, their names may not be forgotten, because most of us will be forgotten soon after we die. You remember the case of the late Bob Collymore being replaced even before he was interred. I even see for ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, people are forgotten very easily. Some people will be remembered after tens of years and others for hundreds. However, most of us, will be forgotten the moment we are gone. That does not mean that people do not do good things. I think when we remember people for the good they have done, you legitimize that same process. It makes the struggle worthwhile so that then you become a good role model for the future. Yes, there is urgency in the creation of this Bill.

Madam Temporary Speaker, there are some things I would also like to point out substantive to the Bill. One, in terms of the Hall of Fame we need to be careful because after the passage of this legislation, we will see counties putting budgets to put up these halls of fame. We know the shenanigans we went through with the issue of the governors’ mansions in counties and county assemblies’ offices. Let not this be another corruption avenue where people inflate the Bill simply because they would want to be seen to be honouring their heroes. It needs to be ...
