    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Bill by Sen. Oketch Gicheru, The Creative Economy Support Bill (Senate Bills No. 30 of 2024). The creative industry in Kenya has made the difference between starvation and having food on the table for many young Kenyans. In this industry, your socio-economic background does not matter and it does not hold you back. This is because you can monetize and make a living out of your talent once it has been recognized by the audience. People like Elsa Majimbo have reached global audience and have changed their lives for the better through the power of the creative industry and the audience on their phones. The country can benefit from the growth of the creative industry if we create a conducive environment for the creatives to thrive. We need to invest more in the arts because they matter just as Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). We are always talking about STEM, but there are those people who can make a living, make it big and be known out of the creative industry. Our country can benefit if we reduce the cost of filming licenses. This is because we will have more international films being shot here because Kenya is a scenic country.
