    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in our world today, many of our young people have no idea of what our different cultures look like. Even for many of the people of our generation, you can clearly see that, most of the time, everyone is crying or yearning to see or participate in our cultures. This Bill will enhance that and will help us. Article 11(1) of the Constitution recognizes the cultures as the foundation of the nation, and as the cumulative civilization of the Kenyan people and nation. Article 11(3)(a) of the Constitution further provides that:- “Parliament shall enact legislation to ensure that the communities receive compensation or royalties for the use of their cultures and cultural heritage.” In most of our cultures, the things we used to do cannot be done today. If then we can do this, it will promote that."
