    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to lend my voice to support this very important Bill, especially coming at a time when we are more than 10 years after the Constitution came into being. When I was growing up, we used to look forward to 18th of every month because the Kenya Film Service would bring films to the district headquarters of the country. Many people did not have television sets that time and we did not have one. This used to be a one-time experience if you could make it. You would find dirty and bare feet children sitting down waiting for those people. If it would start at 6.00 O’clock, we would go there by 4.00 O’clock from school without going home for supper. That was the only source of information about television and anything related to film. It was so good. That is not there anymore. We assume that people in the villages have television sets and because of phones, people have access to information. That is not true. That is why today, if you look at the kind of research that is being produced at universities, the level of plagiarism has gone high up because people do not want to read and when they want to, they cannot find books. The libraries that we have, if you visited one… There is one in Ukwala in my constituency that is a sub-branch of the National Library Services. The books there are of 1948.
