    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to also contribute to this Creative Common Support Bill that has been sponsored by Sen. Eddy Oketch. I want to join my colleagues in registering my accolades for the Senator for Migori, Sen. Oketch, who comes from a city that is famed for music. If you know a song that was sung trying to bring to the attention of Kenyans the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS, it was sung by the late Prince Julie, who was based in Migori, where Sen. Eddy Oketch comes from. The song was called “Dunia Mbaya”. If I am not wrong, there is a musician in Migori called Uncle Eddie. So, Sen. Eddy comes from a county that will benefit immensely if this Bill was to become law. I know the massive talent that is within not only the county of Migori, but within all the four counties of the Luo Nation. So, I thank you, Sen. Eddy for demonstrating a desire to ensure that you pass a Bill that will immensely benefit not just the people of Migori, but also the people of Kenya. When we came up with the 47 counties, the dream and wish of Kenyans was that each of the 47 counties will be famed for something. For example, if you go to USA and want to listen to good country music, then you will land in Tennessee; the homeland of this lady who sang very good country music. Her name is disappearing but she is now retired. If you are in Tennessee Valley, that is the home of country music, that is the home of blues and nice music. If you want to go to a city of entertainment, you know that you will end up in Los Angeles. So, in this country, if I want to pick a county that is famed for music, you will not get any. I hope that this Bill will give us an opportunity to ensure that we have counties that are famed for something. If it is culture, I want somebody to know that if I go to Nyamira County, I will get the best cooked bananas. If you are traveling to Migori, you should say I will stop in Nyansiongo, enjoy a meal of bananas before I proceed to Migori. That way, you create job opportunities for our young entrepreneurs. You can run a restaurant and earn money, maybe more money than what Sen. Cherarkey can earn. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
