    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Culture Bill that has been introduced by the Leader of the Majority Party seeks to promote, preserve and institutionalise Kenya's rich and diverse cultural heritage. At the core of the Bill, it proposes the establishment of the National Cultural Heritage Council, a specialised body that will be tasked with the management, promotion and protection of Kenya's cultural heritage sites, indigenous practices and artistic expression. The Council's work is to create a culture of continuity and harness the promotion of our rich cultural heritage. This Bill also seeks to create cultural preservation and revitalisation. Kenya is home to over 40 ethnic communities, each with distinct traditions, languages and artistic expressions. Therefore, this Bill is timely because it seeks to safeguard endangered languages like Ogiek and Suba, which is the language of my good friend, Hon. Millie. It also seeks to protect sacred sites such as the Kaya Forest of the Mijikenda, and preserve the traditional craftsmanship like the Maasai beadwork and Lamu Swahili architecture. If you look at the face of Kenya, consider Hon. Millie Odhiambo and her Suba language and despite being influenced The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
