  • 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: To date, five months down the line since that request was made, the Committee has never come back to us. Two weeks ago, they released bonuses to tea farmers but, unfortunately, there is nothing to celebrate. Farmers are sunk in debt, yet we have people here who are running institutions, whose bank guarantee stands at around Ksh100 billion. This is not their money, but belongs to the farmers of Kenya. view
  • 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: I want to leave it at that because I am aware that many of my colleagues want to contribute to this very important matter. If there is a sector that the Senate can streamline through legislation, it is this particular sector. Therefore, let us do justice to this particular Petition. view
  • 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you. view
  • 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to share my views and thoughts about The Copyright (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.33 of 2017). It is an extremely timely Bill in terms of the challenges that this country continues to face and the things that we need to address, especially those that matter to the constituents and the people that we represent in this House. Matters of copyright are not simple. Fortunately, as a country, we are having this discussion at this point in time so that we can find a way of ensuring that our ... view
  • 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: It is not easy to create anything. The various forms of art; literary works, music and other forms of production are some of the most difficult things to do, especially, for us human beings. It has also been observed that one of the very infinite powers that God shared with human beings and allowed them to have is the ability to create, just like the Almighty created all of us and to generate and produce something that can be used for generations to come. view
  • 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: Unfortunately, due to lack of proper guidance and laws like the one we are discussing this afternoon, many content creators, to date remain uncelebrated. They do not get their place of pride because of the great works they did – one, nobody documented them. Two, we did not have the requisite legislation to enable us preserve these works and give credit to the people who produced them. It is really unfortunate. It speaks even to the history of man. When you read about the different forms of art, chances are that you will read about the Greek creators. When you ... view
  • 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: the level of providing copyright laws, that is why to date when you read about the history of theatre, all you will read is about the Greek and the different issues that they were speaking to at that particular but nothing will be mentioned about Africa yet it is a known fact that in traditional African societies, one of the ways we use to preserve our custom is through tradition folklores, plays, going for communal gatherings and through afternoon sessions where people will gather after harvesting or after work – they would sit at the village gathering centre, share in ... view
  • 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: years standing; five years in managerial experience and at least five years in matters related to copyright and other related rights‖. I am in agreement with the latter two however, I do not see anything while serving in that capacity that is so legal in its nature, such that for someone to serve as the Executive Director of this board, he or she must be an advocate of the High Court. This is a mischievous provision. view
  • 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: I can see the protest from my good friend and neighbour, Sen. Omogeni. Therefore, I will try and be extremely careful, because I do not want to be in trouble with him, should I fall afoul with the law one day. Of course, I may need his services or those of the former State Prosecutor, the Deputy Majority Whip, Sen. Kihika. However, I keep telling you, my good friends, that despite the fact that you are advocates of the High Court, when you are making laws, 95 per cent of the people that vote for you and sent you to ... view
  • 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: radio. They tell you that if you do not have a certificate, you pay some a huge amount of money. However, the truth of the matter is that when you speak to most of our artistes they say that never see that money. Most of our artistes, especially musicians, die poor. We see them each and every time. The recent case is that of the late Joseph Kamaru, a celebrated musician. Although I do not speak the Kikuyu language, I used to enjoy his songs. Music is universal; you do not have to understand what a musician is saying. You ... view
