So, I support this Bill fully and if it is implemented, we should patent our medicinal plants. We also need to identify and protect them so that even the medicine men that are still alive feel protected and can come out and demonstrate their skills. We should look at traditional dances. Very many of our traditional dancers are just used during national holidays and yet these talented dancers should be organised so that they can sell their talent like any other talent, for example, football and athletics. These dancers should earn money on a daily basis from their dances. I pray that this Bill is implemented. Every county should have a cultural centre where they meet and exchange skills and the knowledge that they have. I support this Bill 100 per cent."
