    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I come from that world; I was a producer in the past. I produced a musical in 2012 for the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage. We paid a lot of money for the copyrights to the international collecting agency in Amsterdam, Netherlands. When we came back, the local artists were trying to sue our production company because they did not receive the rights. The MCSK and all these other collecting agencies are not being honest with artists in Kenya. They have been given the mandate to collect the copyrights and the money for the artists, yet they are not remitting to the artists what belongs to them. For a long time, this has been a conversation around the industry. However, I believe it is also because the legislators do not understand what it means to earn as a musician. I motivate Sen. Crystal Asige because she comes from that background to ensure that she pushes on this agenda because consumers of music are paying a lot of money, but it is not remitted to the artist. I rise to support this Statement. For purposes of record and to Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. Crystal Asige has actually been in the industry way longer than Sauti Sol. That should be noted."
