    "content": "I had indicated this earlier and I just want to reiterate. Article 2(5) and (6) of the Constitution provides that any treaty that is ratified by Kenya becomes part of the laws of this country. We have ratified several treaties on natural resources. I want to give an example of the Convention on Biological Diversity that has been ratified by Kenya, and that talks largely on benefit sharing, but mainly on genetic resources. The Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilisation to the Convention on Biological Diversity also speaks to genetic resources. This Bill talks not only on genetic resources, but also broadly on benefit sharing of natural resources. It has discussed broadly issues such as sunshine, lakes and oceans. We must develop a legislative framework that protects our resources from exploitation and predicates the transfer of royalties, technologies and other things."
