    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to thank all the Members who have contributed to this Bill. There is no doubt this is a Bill whose time is long overdue. We needed this law like yesterday. I am happy to see that the Members realised the need to protect the creators of intellectual property and the talent that lies within our young people. This is to ensure that the Bill of Rights as stipulated in Article 11 of the Constitution is upheld and we give meaning to the provisions in the Constitution through this legislation. Therefore, I want to thank all the Members that have contributed and added their voice to this Bill. In fact, I call upon more Members, and even those who have contributed today, to take advantage of the Committee stage, so that we can propose the necessary amendments that we feel are required to make this Bill stronger. I am particularly impressed to see that we have Members of Parliament who are artists in their own right and who have contributed today. I would like to mention Hon. John Kiarie and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
