    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask for a Ministerial Statement from the Attorney-General on certain issues and status of the music industry in so far as collection and distribution of royalties is concerned. This is in light of the fact that the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) licence was terminated through Kenya Gazette Notice No.5093 of 19th April, 2011 and later expired on 30th October, 2011. In his Statement, the Attorney-General should address himself to the following specific issues:- (a)To furnish this House with the audited accounts of the collecting agency from the year 2006 to 2011. (b)The Attorney-General to table the list of members of the Music Copyright Society of Kenya and the schedule of royalty distribution for the same period. (c)In view of the expiration of the licence, could the Attorney-General tell this House who is currently collecting the royalties and the measures the Attorney-General is putting in place to ensure smooth operations and safeguard the interests of our musicians? (d)What other measures is the Attorney-General putting in place to combat music piracy as well as protect intellectual property rights as is currently provided in our Constitution? Thank you."
