    "content": "Therefore, I want to thank Hon. Gladys Wanga and her Committee for processing this Bill and for daring to bring it. As Hon. Wanga singled out, the President has been very keen on this matter. When we went for the burial of one of the musicians from Kikuyuland, Joseph Kamaru - he revolutionised music in this country - the President promised to do something for the music industry, including some recording studios. When the Rt. Hon. Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga visited the same people, he also agreed to help the musicians. There are some governors who have gone ahead to put some money aside, in their various counties, to be used to set up creative centres so that people can grow talent at that level. For those who helped, this Bill is a special tribute to all their efforts. Our musicians can now enjoy the fruits of their labour. We would like to see similar innovations happening not just in music, but also in telecommunication and so on. Dr. Oundo and Godfrey Osotsi always talk about these innovativeness. I look forward to their support not just on this one, but also other Bills concerning protection of innovators and the industry itself. I could go on and on because I am passionate about this matter. I know our musicians will be protected and our youth will now use their brains to make money rather than wake up thinking that the only way to make money is by handling some tools that remind us of enslavement through physical labour. We want people to use their brains, not The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
