    "content": "Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity again. I stand to support this amendment which comes in handy. It was amended in tandem with the 2010 Constitution which is a good idea. The second point is that it gives protection to artists and musicians from big corporations and people who do not have the opportunity to defend their copy rights. This amendment gives them an opportunity to be protected. I have in mind the ringtones which people compose from our traditional point of view. I can recall that lady who used to say “ Serikali saidia” a ringtone which was widely used by Safaricom. I wonder whether that ringtone is taking care of her by the virtue that her rights are being given to her. I am also happy that the provision of a tribunal is provided in the amendment with an able advocate with seven years of experience. That will give the advocate knowledge on how to protect people whose copyrights have been misused. I am also happy the exclusive rights will not affect where these rights will be used for education, where this information is collected literally for musical works and where this is used for teaching purposes. It is acknowledged. I stand to support the amendment. Thank you very much."
