rights, which are stipulated in the Constitution in Article 43, will be affected. We have to see that the constitutional rights of the people are not interfered with by wildlife. According to the Senator, there are some people who are supposed to be compensated but have not been compensated. It is painful and unthinkable that people lost lives and some even became disabled as a result of being attacked by wildlife yet they have not been compensated when a ruling was made that they be compensated. Delayed compensation is delayed justice and we should not do this to the affected ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to support this Statement by Sen. Sakaja. This is a very important Statement that should not just be wished away. Trade unions are the voice of workers. When we think of the role workers play and the contributions that they make to the economy of this country, it is important that counties allow their workers to join trade unions. Workers have various rights, for instance, the right to good pay and the right to live. They should be paid according to the task that they have performed. All these rights have ...

for a mechanism to be put in place in order to ensure that workers are represented by joining trade unions. Even as they join trade unions, they should not be victimized, because it is there constitutional right and they have not committed any crime. Counties should ensure that workers‘ needs are listened to. I support.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill. I want to commend the Senate Majority Leader for bringing this Bill to the Floor of the House. As Kenyans and as a nation, we should look for ways of encouraging creativity among our youth and our people. The youths have ideas that you cannot even think of. You cannot know what is in someone‘s mind but when they bring it out in the public and it ends up being useful, there is need to acknowledge them more so if it is an idea that ...

The Copyright (Amendment) Bill will ensure that there are no brokers in intellectual property. People need to be compensated for their intellectual property. By the time a person is designing an art work, they have not slept; they have spent a lot of time thinking. A person who thinks for three hours is equivalent to a person who works in a farm for two days because they engage their brains to come up with something innovative. It is painful that once they come up with something innovative, someone else benefits from it. Therefore, there is need for protection of people‘s ...

I support the idea that we do not have to register published material. This is because some people are crafty and plagiarise your work and publish it and they make money out of it. We must ensure that the original owner of any information does not suffer and that his or her ideas are protected. Idea creation needs to be supported. We need to ensure that we are helping Kenyans, especially our youngsters who are innovative The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ...

We should laud people who come up with original ideas. For example, they can receive Head of State recognition and commendation. We should not let them languish in poverty because some people somewhere are benefiting from their works. There is a situation where someone has come up with a noble idea that has been protected, marketed and doing very well. In the absence of that person, the next of kin should be able to enjoy the benefits. There are situations where we find original owners of music or artwork, but when they pass on, their families or next of kin ...
