• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Good to see you too, Mheshimiwa Amina. I take the opportunity to thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. Indeed, safeguarding of the cultural rights of Kenyans is very important because our culture is our identity as a country. This Bill has very good proposals with regard to how we should protect and safeguard our traditions and cultures. It gives responsibility to both the county governments and the national Government to ensure that those rights are protected as they are in the Constitution. This Bill is progressive in ... view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I recently visited a cultural show in Turkana. It was a great experience on how each community in Kenya has unique traditional and cultural practices.

• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: If I can give an example of kiondo or the locally made baskets, it is unfortunate that today, it is something that has been branded and owned by the Japanese.

Article 11(3) (a) of the Constitution states that:- “Parliament shall enact legislation to- (a) ensure that communities receive compensation or royalties for the use of their cultures and cultural heritage.” view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: From now on, the Kamba community in Kenya will stand up and say that the kiondo was theirs and they must receive royalties in exchange of that. In the very least, the country can work to ensure that this particular item is seen as an innovation from Kenya. The western world has innovations. We cannot just make, for example the brand Ford in our country. It belongs to somebody else. If you make any of the simple Chinese made appliances, you will be taken to court for reproducing them or claiming to own them because they are the property rights ... view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: are used anywhere else in the world in any form, then royalties and benefits, as stated in the Constitution, should be earned by communities in Kenya. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you are very right. In the House, we do not deal with “any other business” (A.O.B.), but we deal with matters as they are discussed and Hon. Kajuju wants us to deal with that. view

• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, from the outset, I wish to state that I have utmost respect for the Chairman and, indeed, the entire Membership of PAC. I have the highest regard for the work that the Committee undertakes on behalf of this House. It is for this reason that I wish to seek your indulgence to allow us, as a House, time to reflect on the weighty issues raised by the CJ of the Republic of Kenya by way of a letter addressed to you in connection with the Report we are about to debate. view
