'fhe establishment of the County Hall of Famc will enablc each county to preserve its history, culturc and heritage. The Bill therefore concems county govcrnments in terms of Articles I lO(l)(a) of the Constitution in that it contains provisions that affect the functions and powers of the county governments as set out in Parl 2 of the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution.

Statement that the Bill is not a money Bill within the meaning of Article I l4 of the Constitution

This Bill is not a money Bill within the meaning of Article I 14 of the Constitution.

• The Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage through the State Department for Culture & Heritage noted that-
• (a) the National Honours Act,2013, which establishes a system to award national and county officers with stateNational honours is implemented by the Presidency through three committees namely: The National and County Governments Honours Committee; Parliamentary Honours advisory Committee; and Judiciary Honours Advisory Committee (sections 5,6 & 7)
• (b) It is therefore, our considered opinion that, the avenue to bestow honour on individuals within the respective counties acclaimed as being outstanding, exceptional or illustrious in any profession or activity proposed in the County Hall of Fame Bill is sufficiently factored in the existing laws.
• (c) The Kenya Heroes Act2014 also provides the identification and honouring ofnational heroes. The Act provides criteria and categories for identification and honouring ofheroes (Preamble and the First Schedule).

a.

• (d) Clause 3 (a) on the objects of the Bill is to "provide for framework for recognition by counties of persons who have made significant contributions to the county or country". This object is duplicative of the objects under the National Honours Act 2013 and the Kenva Heroes Act 2014.
• (e) Clauses 3 (b) and (c) of the Bill on objects to "provide a framework for preservation of the history heritage and culture of the county" and "provide a basis for the education of members of the public on the history, heritage and culture of the country" respectively, would be duplicative of the mandate of the county museums as well as national museums existing within the counties.
• (1) The purposes ofthe Senate Bill under Clause 4, (2) (b), (c) and (d) in our considered view are currently undertaken by the Kenya National Archives and Documentation Service (for documents), as well as the National Museums of Kenya under the National Museums and Heritage Act, 2006 (for artefacts).
• (g) Clauses 4 and 5 provide respectively, for establishment of a county hall of fame and designation of public building for purposes of establishing a county hall of fame. The Kenya Heroes Act under section 26 provides for establishment of Heroes'squares where the Council may establish and maintain. heroes' squares in such places as it may deem appropriate.
• (h) Clause 6 (a) provides for establishment of the County hall of fame selection committee to be chaired by the County Executive Committee member responsible for culture and heritage. The same role is cross-referenced under the Kenya Heroes Act, section 16 specihcally assigning administration and the implementation of heroes honours systems to the

County Executive Committee Member of their respective Counties in accordance with the provisions of the Kenya Heroes Act. It follows therefore, that, the powers to administer heroes' honours is already in existence under the law.

• (i) In regard to clause l5 (1) (b) on establishment of "a register of all documents, information, items and artifacts received for preservation and display in the County Hall of Fame," and clause (18) (l) and (3) on the receipt of artifacts and historical documents, including their preservation; it is our submission, that, the county museums and the national archives are well suited to undertake such activities.
• O Implicitly, various parts of the Senate Bill No. 9 of 2023, the Kenya Heroes Act2014 and the National Honours Act 2013 may be inoperable due to the duplicity of functions. There is therefore need to review and harmonize the three pieces of legislation with the view of providing for optimal synergy and productivity in their implementation.

2. The Council of Govemors agreed with the content of the Bill 3. The Ministry of Youth Affairs, the Arts and Sports submitted that the Public Archives and Documentation Services Act, the National Museums and Heritage Act. the National Honours Act and the Kenya Heroes Act have addressed most of the matters provided for in the current Bill.

STATE DEPARTMENT VIEWS ON THE DRAFT COUNTY HALL OF FAME BILL 2O2L

The above matter refers.

we have perused the draJt county HaIl of Fame Bill No. 9 of 2021 and wish to make the following comments:

1. Clause 6 of the Bill providing for County Hall of Fame Selection Committee

The Selection committee is silent on the criteria and qualifications of the Committee. While it has been provided for specific office holders it does not reflect on the communitSr involvement which is goes against the provisions of Article 10 of the Constitution.

Further the Clause has left out the Women and Youth demographic. It should also be noted that the

2. Clause 18 of the Bill providing fc,r the submission and receipt of artefacts and historical iterns.

It is understood that the purpose of these is to introduce controls and giving the County Executive Committee member in charge the opportunity to exercise the control.

However, the control needs to be protracted to include the family, clarr or Community. This allows families that submit items have a say over items that may hold sentimental value to the family. It alse. allows controls from persons who steal from families.

Moving forward, greater clarity is needed through the provision of guidelines, practice notes and templates and the proposed development of guidelines for issuance of controls and measures at Clause 18 of the Bill is welcomed.

3. Clause 20 etf thetill providing for the Offences

MEMORANDUM

BY THE NATIONAT HEROES COUNCIL THROUGH

THE STATE DEPARTMENT FOR CULTURE AND HERITAGE

SUBiIITTED TO THE CLERK OF THE ITIATIOilAL ASSEMBLY

ON

THE COUNTY HALL OF FA}IE BILL (SENATE BrLL NO. 9 oF 2021)

(A Bill published in the xenya c,adle supplement No. 29 of th Mardr, 2021 and passed by the Senate, with amendments, on tlth January, 2022)

WHEREAS a Bill entiued "An Act of Parliament to establish a crunty Hall of Fame in each County as an avenue through which the County Gouernrnents shall bestow honour on indMduals within their respective counties acclaimed as being outstanding, exceptional or illustr6us in any profession or activity; provide a trameu/ork for the presenration of the hastory, heritage and culure of counties; and for connected purposes" (hereinafter " AE kflate Eill wo. g of 20212

A?{D WHEREAS The Cterk of the NaUonal Assembly has invited The t{inistry of Sports, Culture and Heritag€ to submit its Mernoranda on the various Bills b facllitate publlc particlpation;

I{OW THEREFORE, The State Department for Cu}ture &amp; Herltage under the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Herilagre being a stakeholder hereby $bmits the following vleus on the Senate Bill No. 9 of 2021:

• 1 Whereas Clause 2 on the interpretation of the SenaE Bill No. 9 of Z0Z1 refers !o the Cabinet Secretary responsible for matters relating b culture, heritage and statc honoutr,' the posiuo{] is that mamrs related to State/National honours vest under the Cabinet Affairs ffice as opposed to the Cabinet Secretary responsible for matters relatirg to culture and heritage.
• The National Honours Act, 2013, which establishes a sysEm b award national and ounty officers wlth sfdE/Nadonal honours is implemented by the Presidency through three commitEes namely: The National and County Govemments Homurs Committee; parliamentary Honours advisory Commlftee; and Judiciary Honours Advisor Committee (rcctlons 5,5 &amp; 7) 2

It is therefore, our consldered oplnlon that, the a\r'enue b bestoil honour on individuals within the respecti\re counties acclaimed as beirq outstanding, exceptional or lllustrious in any profussion or actvlty proposed ln the County Hall of Fame Bllt is sufficlendy factored in the odsting laws.

• The Kenya Heroes Act 2014 also proldes the ldentlficatlon and honouring of naUonal herces. The Act provkles criteria and caEgories for idenUflcaUon and honourlng of heroes (Prrambh and the Fir;t Schedule). 3
• claure 3 (a) on the objects of the senate Bill No' 9 of 2o2l is to "provide for frama^rork for recognition by counties of persons who have rnade signifrcant contributions to the county or country". This object is duplicative of the obiects under the National Honours Act 2013 and the Kenya Heroes Act 2014. 4.
• Oauoee 3 (b) anrl (c) of the Bill on objects to "prwide a frarnarsork for preservation of the history heritage and culture of the county" aM "provide a hasis for the education of members of the publlc on the hlstory, heritage and culture of the country" respectlvely, y'rculd be duplicative of the rnandate Of the COunty fnuseurns aS wetl aS national museums existing withln the counUes. 5

Recommendation: It is, thus, our propositiOn that the Cabinet SeCretary responsible for culture and heritage administers these two forms of recognition as erwisaged in Ute exisUng laws to avold dupllcity of functlons.

• The purpmes of the Senate Bill No. 9 of 2021 under Clause a, (2) (b), (c) and (d) in our considered view are cr.lnenUy undertaken by the Kenya National Archives and Documentation Servlce (for documenb), as rryell as the National Museums of Kenya under the National Museums and Heritage Act, 2005 (for arteFacts). 6

Recommendation: Considering that the museum function under the Fourth Sdtedule of the constitution is a devolved function, ure propose that county Museunts ls assigned the responsibility of the preservaUon of aftifacts and heritage relatlng to counfy heroes/heroines. Conversely, the Natlonal Arcfilves strould guide on presenation of documents on the counties'histories and heroes

• 7 Oauoeg 4 and 5 provide respectively, for establislrment of a county hall of fame and deslgnation of publk buildlng for purpoaes of establishlng a county hall of fame. The Kenya Heroes Act under section 26 prwides for establishment of Heroes' sguares where the Council rnay establish and maintaln, heroes'squares in such places as it may deem appropdate.

Reommendatlon: It is our recommendation that there uiould be need for consideraUon to harmonize establishment of the county hall of fame and heroes squares, which nould serue the same pumose. Thls will avoirJ duplication.

• Claure 6 (a) provirtes for establlshment of the County lrall of fame selecuon commlttee to be chalred by the County Executlve Commlttee member responsible for culture and herltage. The same role ls crossreferenced under the Kenya Heroes Act, section 16 specifically assignirq administnUon and the implementathn of heroes honours systems to the County Executive Committee Member of thelr respective Counties in accordance with the provislons of the Kenya Heroes Act. It follows therefore, that, the poyuers b adminlster heroed honours is already in exlstence under the law. 8.
• 9 In regard to clause 15 (1) (b) on establishment of "a register of all documents, lnfonnation, items and artifacts received for preservation and display ln the County Hall of Fame," and clausc (r8) (1) and (3) on the receipt of artifacts and hisbrical documents, including their preservation; it is our submission, that, the county museums and the national archives are well suited to undertake such activiUes.

• 10- Appreciating that the c-ounty Ha[ of Fanre Biil has not been congffi as a'Money Bil" within the meaning of sre constituuon Arflcle ll4, it is our consldered vierr that undertaking preservation activrues, especiaily of artlfacts is a specialized func{on that requires rich and diverse researcfl expertise, as weil as spec,iarized facirifles for research, @nservation, curation and storage.

All these aspects require huge amount of money, and, therefore, the current provisions in the counties rnay not be sufficient. This posiuon is informed by the fact that there may be need to emproy conservation experts, archivlsts, curators and orhlbition designers besldes estabtishlng specially designed spaces for storage and curauon.

Recommendation: There is therefore need to revlew the furrtions allocated to the County Halls of Fame under the Bill vis-i-vis arry lntended resource mobllizauon for establishment of the County Halls of Fame.

Impllciuy, various parts oF the Senate Blll No. g of 2021, the Kenya Heroes tut 2014 and the National Honours Act 2013 may be inoperable due to the duplicity of furrtlons. Thete is therefore ned to revleur and hannonize the three pieces oF legislation with ttre vieur ol providing for optirnal synergy and producflvlty in thelr implementatlon.

From THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNORS

The Council of Governors,

ln recognition of Article r(a) of the Constitution of Kenya, that sovereign power of the people is exercised at the national level and the county level;

ln further recognition of Article 6 (2) that governments at the national and county levels are distinct; and

Aware of the need for coordination and consultation between the National Government and County Governments to ensure that legislation responds to the key issues facing devolution, and further reflects the spirit and obiects of devolution.

2. The Council of Governors lauds the efforts geared towards the enactment of the County Hall of Fame Bill, zoz3 and is in support of the same as it purely concerns County Govemments and provides a framework for County Govemments to honor persons who may not necessarily be recognized at the National Level but are heroes and heroines within their respective counties. 3. Further, the Bill is a step in the right direction towards the preservation of the history, heritage and culture of respective counties 4. The Council is further cognizant of the Protection Of Traditional Knowledge And Cultural Expressions Act,2o16 which provides a framework for the protection and promotion of traditional knowledge and cultural expressions; to give effect to Articles tt, 4o and Og(r)(c) of the Constitution.
