19A. An intersex child shall have the right to be treated with dignity, and to be accorded appropriate medical treatment, special care, education, training and consideration as a special need category in social protection services. The justification is that the term, “intersex child” is defined in Clause 2 of the Bill. The legislative intent appears to be to make provision for intersex children.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wish to inform Prof. Oduol and Members that the title ‘Director’ has changed to ‘Secretary’. Nothing else has changed. The roles and tasks are the same. It is just like the way we used to have Vice- President, and now we have Deputy President. It is only the title which has changed.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, from the outset I support the Bill. It will come in handy. We are going to assist our artists across Kenya get their rightful share from their performances and the creativity that they showcase in the industry. Lack of fair compensation of artists by broadcasters has destroyed the creative industry in this country. Many of our young talented Kenyans have resorted to the entertainment industry where they create music so that they can earn a living. Unemployment in Kenya has become a pandemic and that has made many young Kenyans to resort to music. Most broadcasters ...
