"content": " I must commend my colleague, Hon. K.J., for bringing this issue. Those of us who interact with the youths from our constituencies who are performing artists know that they are really suffering. Their audience is mostly live performances. They deal with social events like weddings and churches where they get some little stipend or money to support their lives. The Kshs100 million stimulus package that was provided is truly a drop in the ocean. I suppose and trust that in the fullness of time, the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the relevant committee will consult further with the relevant ministry to see what we can do to support the performing artists. I know there is a programme in the Ministry about recording and doing those kinds of things. However, it is underfunded and unable to reach all parts of the country. We hope that the relevant departmental committee will address and look into this issue with time. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
