    "content": "similar to any other county, including Kisumu County. It will also preserve our culture. You remember now with the globalisation that is happening, most of our children are brought up in the cities while others are born abroad. What happens when they want to identify themselves with where they come from? Are they able to go to Kisumu County and maybe associate themselves with the Luo traditions and the people of Kisumu and other areas? If you come from the Maasai in Narok County, for example, their children were born abroad to Maasai parents and they want to identify themselves with their culture. In fact, we should even see how we can inculcate, and I know it is already there, in the syllabus that we teach it in our schools. Madam Temporary Speaker, another very important issue is management.

If the county government has documented and gazetted a place, by the time The National Geographic comes and films, maybe the life and times of Samburu people as a culture--- When they want to document maybe something in Kisumu County, how do we ensure we avoid exploitation? We must ensure that when there is exploration and discovery of such issues of even visiting forests like Kakamega Forest---The forest has special and unique species of a butterfly. Apart from it, how do we patent so that in terms of exploration and discovery, we give compensation to communities? Madam Temporary Speaker, when you go to the Amazon in Brazil, there are communities that have been protected from access or modernization under the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). I do not want to say isolated. There is a special reason when you go to Amazon, you are not supposed to bring modernization within that area. These are indigenous communities.
