    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the Senate in Clause 22 provides for the right of owners of traditional knowledge and cultural expressions to assign and conclude licensing agreements and grant right of access, authorisation, assignment or licence which shall be in writing and a copy submitted to the CS. The Senate is proposing to provide document granting rights of access, authorisation, assignment and licence be submitted to the respective County Executive Committee members in charge of matters relating to traditional knowledge. Nowadays, Kenyans are quacks. In the Coast, you will find members of the Kikuyu community or the Kamba community wearing Maasai shukas dancing and performing some traditional dances on behalf of the Maasai community. If you are not a Bukusu, you cannot perform the Bukusu circumcision rite. So, what Senate is saying is that you must first ascertain in writing and have a licence. There are too many quacks who masquerade as experts in Luo culture, on tero buru or even in Maasai culture. I think the Senate is trying to make sure that there is a licensing authorisation process."
