"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52(1) to make a Statement of general topical concern namely, congratulating Bien- Aimé Baraza, an award-winning Kenyan music artist, for his outstanding achievement in winning the prestigious East African Best Musician title at the Trace Awards. This remarkable feat is not only a personal triumph for Bien but also a proud moment for Kenya, as it showcases the immense talent thriving within our creative and performing arts sector. Bien’s success is a testament to the power of dedication, creativity, and resilience. It underscores the vital role that music and arts play in shaping our cultural identity, inspiring the youth and contributing to our nation’s economy. His recognition on such a prominent regional platform, alongside the caliber of his competitors - Diamond Platnumz (Tanzania), Joshua Baraka (Uganda), Harmonize (Tanzania), Rophnan (Tanzania), Marioo (Tanzania), Zuchu (Tanzania), and Nandy (Tanzania) - highlights the potential of Kenyan artists to compete and shine on the global stage. The achievement further brings to light the critical role played by platforms such as the Trace Awards in nurturing and promoting local talent. Trace Awards, established in 2003, is a global music and entertainment platform dedicated to promoting urban and contemporary African music. It originated from a cable television network in France and has since grown into a powerful media brand, operating music channels, radio stations, and digital platforms across Africa and beyond. Trace Awards has provided an invaluable stage for young artists, offering them the opportunity to showcase their creativity, expand their reach and gain international recognition. It is through such opportunities that our youth are empowered to transform their artistic passions into meaningful careers. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in light of this, I wish to urge the Government to- (1) Promote and incentivize the creative and performing arts sector by increasing funding, establishing mentorship programs and providing grants for young artists; The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

As we celebrate Bien Baraza, let this moment serve as a reminder of the boundless potential within our youth and the need to invest in their talents. By fostering the environment where arts and creativity flourishes, we not only empower individual artists but also strengthen Kenya’s cultural and economic landscape Congratulations once again to Bien Baraza. Your win is Kenya’s win."
