    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the Culture Bill, 2024. I appreciate the drafters of the Bill and the Leader of Majority Party for bringing it forth. This is an important Bill that is aimed at giving effect to Article 11(3)(a) of the Constitution, which provides for the protection and promotion of culture and the cultural heritage of the communities. It is very important that our Constitution is given effect, and this Bill ensures that it does so in this area. Kenya is rich and diverse in culture. Culture is dynamic. Every community in this country has its own cultural practices, beliefs and norms. Despite the cultural diversity, every community has a sense of belonging through its culture. I appreciate that, as Kenyans, we admire and appreciate the different cultures of our communities. For instance, during national days, some communities are given an opportunity to perform cultural dances or plays. This demonstrates that to some extent, we have been appreciating culture as a country. However, we have not done so to the best of our ability."
