    "content": "If there is an industry that has been deprived of its rights and completely impoverished, it is the film industry and artists. These are people who never benefit from their own industry. The Report will assist Kenyan artists. But even as I hail the Report as being one of its kinds and hopefully one of the best, I must raise concern over implementation of such Reports. This House should not be taken for a ride. Going forward, every report that is tabled and adopted, government agencies must implement it so that Kenyans can enjoy the fruits that come with implementation of the recommendations contained in the Report. The House has adopted very good Reports that are gathering dust in shelves in Government offices. I urge the Committee on Implementation to follow up on the very many Reports the House has adopted. By so doing, we will be appreciating men and women of the House who travel far and wide and spend most of their time coming up with similar Reports that are beneficial to the country. I would like to see a scenario where the Chair of the Committee on Implementation reports to the House how many such reports have been tabled and adopted on the Floor of the House and how many of them have been fully implemented by Government. And for those the Government has not implemented, we must be given sufficient reasons. We cannot be wasting taxpayers’ money and our time as a House by coming up with such good Reports but nothing good comes out of them. The benefits of this Report are not just tabling and approving them, but also on their implementation."
