    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the proposed film policy in question will help build Kenya‟s brand, increase economic growth and promote heritage. Also, the framework will develop national culture, promote integration, national cohesion and tourism. Madam Temporary Speaker, the film industry will succeed when the policies made by the Government support filmmakers. The 2014 win of the coveted Oscar Award by Lupita Nyong‟o, the first Kenyan to win such an award, was a wake-up call for the country‟s limping entertainment industry. Lupita‟s win of the award of Best Supporting Actress was a testimony that the country habours great potential in the filming industry and that can place Kenya on the global radar. Madam Temporary Speaker, whereas Kenya has many talented actors and actresses who would match Lupita‟s success, the country‟s film sector is still underdeveloped. In its own admission, the Government, through the Kenya Film Commission (KFC), said that the industry could raise an impressive USD60 billion every year and create a significant number of jobs, especially for the youth, whose unemployment rate has hit the 70 per cent.
