    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I thank Mheshimiwa Kiarie for bringing this Motion. It is very important because we have not given opportunities to the great minds and innovators that we have in the country. When talking about artisans, we should look at the “software” such as musicians, actors and others while at the same time we look at the “hardware”. This will ensure that once these funds are approved, there will be no challenges in terms of the definition of the beneficiaries. We would like these funds to be availed but the proposed allocation of 2 per cent of the NG-CDF is on the lower side. I believe that, from the other affirmative action funds that are coming up, like the Hustler Fund, we should be thinking of something like 10 or 15 per cent being put aside for this purpose. Ho. Temporary Speaker, I wish we give this Motion the priority it deserves considering that there are great Motions that have previously been passed in this House but have ended up gathering dust in shelves in some offices. This Motion should cover the “software”, which includes musicians and actors, as well as those who use their hands to create things. Lastly, even as we pass this Motion as lawmakers, we must walk the talk. In most cases, you find that we have preference for imported goods. We like commodities which are made outside our jurisdiction. We are even talking about clothing. We need to focus on clothes and utensils that are made locally, such as those from Kaluworks. We need to walk the talk as lawmakers. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
