    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. After entertainment from the good lady from Mbita, it is now time to make a few comments. The amendment to the Copyright Act is timely. Our young people, who have been very innovative in music and other things, have been mistreated, exploited and undermined. Many of us love music. However gloomy you are, when a nice song is sung or hummed, you will certainly nod in appreciation. I come from a constituency where there are budding musicians and artists. When you walk around or invite them for functions, you feel sorry for them because they entertain people but whatever they take home is so meagre. At times we feel ashamed. We have artists like Amos; Faith Anyango, the gospel artist; John Siyo; and also, old and fabled artists like Marios and Angelina who have entertained people all the years. We must find a way of rewarding talent. We must find a way of compensating efforts."
