    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the collection and distribution of loyalties to artists in Kenya. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide a list of all Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) currently licensed and operating in Kenya specifying their physical addresses. (2) Explain why the Kenya Copyright Board continues to issue licenses to CMOs despite artists lodging numerous complaints about the performance of the CMOs and non-remittance of their hard earned dues. (3) Explain why CMOs have continued to distribute minimal amounts as royalties despite enhanced collections. (4) Provide a breakdown of all monies collected and distributed by the CMOs in the last one year stating whether the distribution adheres to the guidelines that stipulate that a minimum of 70 per cent of the collections be distributed as royalties to artists. (5) Furnish the Senate with the register of artists currently used in the distribution of royalties indicating whether there are plans to update the register to weed off ghost artists. I thank you."
