    "content": "Hon. Speaker, he is engaged in early party hopping. That Clause 4 is considered because it protects and gives reasons for the role of county governments in protecting and promoting traditional knowledge. The Senate proposed the following two new responsibilities for the county governments: The first one is the allocation of financial resources for the promotion of cultural activities and secondly, the establishment of mechanism for using culture as a tool for conflict resolution and promotion of cohesion. Those proposed amendments from the Senate seek to impose an obligation on county governments to allocate certain resources from their budget to be used to promote cultural activities. For example, in Kakamega County, the county government can allocate some resources for the annual bull fighting festival. I am sure the bull fighter, Sen. Khalwale, wherever he is sitting, must have brought an amendment. The other reason is to obligate county government to use culture as a tool for promoting cohesion. Clause 22, which the Senate has added, provides for the right of the owners of traditional knowledge and cultural expressions to assign or conclude licensing agreements provided that these grants give access to all stakeholders. In Clause 25, again, they seek to introduce a new aspect of consultation with persons in charge of matters relating to traditional knowledge and culture. Consultation became a very serious term in the last Government. It is still in the minds of many people. I beg to move and ask Hon. Kajuju, Member for Meru County, to second."
