    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment as a member of this Committee. If that money would have been removed, it would have affected the ongoing contractual obligations. You may very well know that the Kenya Films and Classifications Board (KFCB) has been doing renovations of some of our facilities such as Nairobi Cinema. This has helped some artists to access and use state of the art equipment and their contractual obligation that involves the provisions of equipment, refurbishment and other things. Secondly, as a representative of Mathare Constituency, where we have young people with issues of unemployment, the film industry is one of the ways in which they can engage themselves in meaningful employment. The refurbishment and takeover of our cinemas is supposed to be cascaded to the constituencies. Therefore, taking away this money would have placed the KFCB in a very awkward position where ongoing contracts, obligations and plans it had made to cascade these programmes down to the constituencies would be affected. Therefore, I support."
