• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: our cellphone ringtone. It is played in bars, churches, public places and campaigns, and then you find the singer and composer, living impoverished life. Sen. Beth Mugo can remind me the name of the gentleman who was being buried two weeks ago in Murang‘a, the famous singer --- view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: Yes, Kamaru. Many artists during his funeral complained that they want to meet the President. The reason is, there is a problem in enforcement of intellectual property in the protection of works of musicians. Mr. Kamaru did a fantastic job, but then, they cannot even afford to pay their hospital bills. There is another renowned singer in the South Rift. He was called Kipchamba. He sang so many songs. Hon. Senators from the Kipsigis community are here. Sen. (Dr.) Milgo is here. He is renowned but you cannot see the fruits of their labour. There is a gospel singer from ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: People visit towns around the world to look at beautiful buildings. If you go to Beijing, you will see new architectural designs. We also have the Bird‘s Nest Stadium which is beautiful and it looks like a bird‘s nest. Next to the Bird‘s Nest Stadium in Beijing, you will find the Underpants Building which appears like somebody who is wearing innerwear. There are unique things. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: The other day, I saw another building that I do not want to mention. I know that the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) has a history to do with a donkey according to the architect who drew the plan of the building. There is a new stadium being designed in Qatar which is beautiful. It looks like something else I do not want to say here. So, the unique architectural structures must be protected by this law to ensure that no one just wakes up and reproduces a building. It is important for us to insist that we should stop ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: In Nakuru Town, there is nothing unique. One building or ―box‖ looks like the other. The same applies to Eldoret. If you go to almost every town, there is nothing unique about one building and another. That is why I said Nairobi is the only unique city where we have unique buildings in Upper Hill and also here in town. The KICC and even the Co-operative Bank Building, which is also called Bell-Bottom Building, look different. There are also other buildings like Parliament Buildings, Telekom House and Hilton Hotel that are unique. Such are the kind of buildings that we ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: Again, there will be protection of computer programmes under this law. It will ensure that a person in possession of lawful computer programme can make copies, have backup and do other things but they will not be allowed to reproduce computer programming for purposes of selling if they bought or leased from a particular person. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: Clause 26 that I was referring to is key. There is an exception that you can reproduce materials for purposes of distribution to persons who are visually impaired. It is also important to mention that the artiste right to resale is absolutely inalienable and shall not be waived under any circumstance. All artistes have a right to resale. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: This law also provides for the establishment of collective management organisation. With this law, the corporate body will work together with the copyright owners for royalties to be collected by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) or any other body that shall be designated or agreed on by the owners of the rights. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: There are so many things. If I begin talking about intellectual property, I can take the whole day. These are important provisions of the law. There are also provisions of schedules and so on and so forth. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in Senate: I would like to conclude by saying that as a nation, we must rise to the occasion to save our young people – because most of them are young – from violation of their rights. Many young people do not have title deeds and are unable to get formal employment but they are creative. For those who can draw, let them benefit from their drawings; those who can sing should benefit from the singing and those who can dance should also benefit from dancing and so on and so forth. If we ensure that, it will be easy for us, ... view
