    "content": "and beadwork. Sometimes people come to Kenya, not not to see Kenya, but to see the Maasais. If we can protect that, it will make sense. So, this Guild should not be advising the Cabinet Secretary. It should be finding a way of having meetings with these artists, and if there is any upcoming artist, send their name and content for them to protect the artists. I fully support that. Collaborating with intellectual property rights is a very good provision. Collaborate with relevant entities to ensure transparent distribution of royalties collected. In fact, on this particular one of royalties collection, in the current age where there are many online companies that are giving these content creators a platform to showcase their talent, we should not be having one individual who is collecting this money to distribute to them. The artists should sign contracts directly with radio stations and TV stations and find a way for give and take. When radio or TV plays their music, they should not charge them, they should just give them an opportunity to market their kind of music. Those are the things that we need to look at. As I sit down, let me reiterate on the importance of this Bill. I want to repeat this again, I will be sitting down with Sen. Eddy to do away with over-regulation and the need to set up a body that now governs the creative industry. We do not need it. Let it self- regulate, let people make money and enjoy. Finally, and most importantly, let us make sure it is tax-free because it is their creativity. Do not charge or overburden them with taxes for their creativity."
