• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to add my voice to the debate on this very important treaty which the Departmental Committee of Communication Information and Innovation has looked into and come up with a very good Report. A lot has been said about people copyrighting. This is very unfortunate for the young upcoming artists. They are trying to make a living as artists yet they do not get the full benefit of their talents and what God has given them. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Another day, I was watching a young famous musician from Tanzania on television and looking at him, I sympathised because just less than three years ago, he was a daring of everyone. One day he came to Nakuru to perform in one of the big hotels and you could not get a ticket yet they were charging over Kshs5,000. The other day on the Wako Wapi Programme on The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: television, I saw what he is going through. I think this Treaty will address some of these issues which will go a long way to assist artists economically. I have attended funerals of few important artists particularly from Central Province and it is very unfortunate that people have to contribute funds to support their families after their death because they were unable to make a living out of their talents. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: It is also unfortunate that the Report indicates that this Treaty was brought in November last year and almost a year later is when it is finding its way on the Floor. I want to thank the Committee because they have found time to look at it. The only thing I agree with Hon. Wamuchomba concerning this matter is about the young boy of the popular Mathwiti. I was interested in him and was following-up on him. I thought he was a grown up and he acted the video some five or ten years back. I was surprised to hear ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Even if he has not patented or protected his voice, this Treaty should also recognise that if the boy’s voice is used, he needs to be compensated. He is a minor. Maybe his parents do not know about patents. I am happy for the young radio presenter called Bonoko. He literary speaks Kiswahili-Kikuyu in his program yet he has become so famous. At least, he has made a living out of this. It is important for us to support this Treaty. I hope the Committee will put more interest on minors. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I support and thank you because you were my able Chair. How I wish you were not appointed to that position. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I do not know whether this is the right time I should be raising this matter. Now that the Leader of the Majority Party has just laid reports on some constituencies on the NG-CDF, I do not know whether it is the right time. We are in the third month and the end of the first quarter and nothing has been said so far by the Chair of the CDF committee. The NG-CDF Act stipulates very clearly that the membership of the CDF Committee lapses after every two years. You remember in the 11th Parliament, we lost ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I am sorry, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank you for that. view
