    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to second The Protection of Traditional Knowledge and Cultural Expressions Bill (National Assembly Bill No.48 of 2015). I am actually very impressed by the drafting of this Bill. It is an interesting and nice Bill. It is very comprehensive and very innovative. The most important thing is that finally, I can see some element of light at the end of the tunnel in terms of a lot of traditions that this Republic has ignored or put in the back burner. There is a famous Kiswahili saying that Mwacha mila ni mtumwa which Sen. (Dr.) Zani knows better. Therefore, this is one of those things that we have taken too long to do. I went to London and one of the things I found most interesting other than their old buildings is the British Library. If you want to know the origin of Christianity, you will find the First Bible in the British Library. If you want to see what Sir Isaac Newton used to do while he was crazy, because he was said to be a crazy man, you will find his hand-written writings in the British Library. There is a very famous treaty which I cannot remember which was signed in 1652 on a scroll in the British Library. There are also many other writings and many other things. If you want to see what William Shakespeare did, you will also find it there. They celebrated 400 years of his death on 27th April. That was last month. If you want to see his books and his history and how he started writing all the poems, songs and plays, you will find that in the British Library. If you wanted to know the origin of Kambas, where would you get that information? There is a book that I am reading which has got the history of all communities. The portion of the Kambas is about three pages. I do not think the history of Kambas can be in three pages, where they are said to have originated in a place called The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
