    "content": "have not succeeded in life and, therefore, resort to exploring music, comedy or any form of art as a last option. The first thing we must change is the culture, the perception that creatives do not have formal careers or the potential to be professionals. Indeed, the creative economy has proven to be a professional economy. We must structure it in a way that inspires the younger generation to pursue careers within it. That is why we are taking it to the Ministry of Trade, Investments and Industry to ensure that we make a case for commercial viability in the creative industry. However, the comment from the two Senators, Sen. Ledama and Sen. Hillary Sigei, was that we reduce some of the powers allocated to the Cabinet Secretary, so that creatives can take over that role. Indeed, some of the comments made by Senators in this House align with the comments we received during the Committee Stage of this Bill. Allow me to highlight that this is one of the Bills with the highest number of submissions in this House. There were about 80 submissions, mostly from creatives, who showed up and shared many of their thoughts. It would be in order for me to thank them."
