basic needs. It would be a contradiction or paradox to have fame and put on tatters. So, it is important to ensure that those who may not have been together with the famous who we intend to honour through this Bill are able to see fame in them and success and decency in the way they live. I totally agree with Sen. Wetangula that we must capture that. Otherwise, fame to those people may itself become a liability.

If you are famous and your name runs ahead of you and people visit your residence and find that you live in squalor, what will come out in news is not your achievement or fame, but the squalor in which you live. So, in order to minimise adverse focus and negative news that might arise from being famous, we must cushion those who will benefit from being named famous.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I hope you are already famous. When you retire to your County of Uasin Gishu, you should be both famous and supported to live a life of fame and decency. We would not want to talk about a professor who supervised many PhD holders and ran a wonderful university, but when we visit their abode, we find that they do not even have a pit latrine. We encourage that fame be supported both in terms of acknowledgement and provision for being famous. That is not asking too much.

Among the limitations I have recognised in this Bill is that we are just talking about a Hall of Fame. We should think beyond that. There are many other areas that are craving recognition. We must identify famous people who have done a lot to our societies. There should be provisions in this legislation on processes of how to name roads and schools after or for them, so that the names are not just in a register, but on activities that touch the lives of the people who live in the counties.

If you look at this Bill in its entirety, you will see that what is recommended here is entering their names in the register. It does not go beyond that and propose means or methods of identifying roads, institutions, buildings or streets for or after which they could be named because many people do not just go to halls to read. Many people like to reads names on the streets.
