    "content": "This is an avenue for the creation of jobs as well. If our musicians, actors, poets and writers enjoy value for the work they do, that is a whole industry. We are talking about job creation. There is no better silver bullet of job creation than through these works of art because the country is not in any shortage of talented people who can give us good content. There are countries that continue to earn--- Look at the amount of revenue that Hollywood generates for America, that Bollywood does for India and that Nollywood does for Nigeria. There is nothing difficult for us to ensure that these industries thrive. We have developed legislation for copyright for musicians, but where can we house all these creatives? We need to ensure there is a body that will collectively looks after rights. We have the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB), the Kenya Writers Union (KWU) and others. We need to develop this industry so that it employs many of our men and women. As I said, we have done a piece of legislation for copyright, film and art. These pieces of legislation are scattered all over without being properly housed. This is one industry that can create jobs and generate revenue for this country. With those many remarks, I support."
