"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, lastly, let me also appeal to the House that while we are paying tribute to Ms. Lupita, let us understand that the film industry in this country is still in its nascent stage. Just a few days ago, some Kenyans won accolades at a festival in Lagos, Nigeria, for their contribution to the entertainment industry, to acting and drama. But we could do better if we supported the arts and drama in a much more fundamental way. As I speak today, if you are coming into Kenya brining film equipment to shoot a film in this country you have to pay 16 per cent VAT and another 30 per cent taxes. That makes it 46 per cent of taxation. That is rather heavy for anybody trying to develop a film industry in this country. So, I would like to appeal to the Government to give more support to the film industry which will contribute tremendously to job and wealth creation in this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you."
