    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will begin by saying that anything that supports our young people, and helps them commercialize or put into money their creativity, this House should support. I would like to say that we need to expand the definition of the creative industry. There are new upcoming spheres in that space that are not captured in this Bill. These days we have influencers; very young people in our country, who are earning money by influencing others to purchase a certain product. We have creatives who may not yet have had a contract to influence, but they have TikTok accounts where they express their creativity, have viewership and they have potential to monetize that. We also have a very popular concept these days called tea vendors in the social media and in the internet who are also monetizing this tea. Tea is another name for gossip or just talking about what is happening in the society. Sometimes they cross the line and talk about people's personal lives and Kenyans have proven to be very interested in what is happening in celebrities' lives and their families. We have Githaiga wa Chai, a young man who has risen very fast in popularity. Sen. Methu must know him. He is a representative of young people who come up and be themselves."
