    "content": "Somebody said that this fallacy of registering patents, trying to capture and commoditize it is a recent creation which came with the industrial revolution. Nobody is paid royalties for major innovations which have transformed humanity. For instance, Fidel Castro raised one of these issues in the United Nations (UN) when he asked, “Who pays royalties to the stone age man who discovered fire?” Many innovations have come because of fire. However, we have not been able to pay royalties for fire to any person. It is even more important than electricity. More people enjoy it than electricity yet we are paying royalties to those who have discovered electricity, telephone, et cetera . Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the food we eat today, what we call traditional food – many people died trying to experiment with that food to know which food can be eaten, which ones are poisonous et cetera . Who do we pay royalties for Nduma, Cassava, Ugali,Wali and other foods? They have been praising you, the Maasai community for wearing the Maasai"
