• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: should come up. It could not have come at a better time. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Zani for bringing this to the Floor. I do not think this one will be business as usual. Madam Deputy Speaker, despite the fact that our Standing Orders state what should happen with the work that the Committees have done, even though some try they have not done it in a timely manner. This Bill speaks to the issues of being accountable and ensuring implementation in a timely manner so that we do not wait. As I stand here, I remember that in my ... view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to second this Bill. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Zani for doing such a great job. In fact, as she was presenting it, I was wondering what came to her mind to the extent that she thought about speaking to issues of copyright. The issues of copyright are a challenge. As she was speaking to those issues, I was thinking about some of the emblems that were taken away from our country by colonialists. Recently in Nandi County, Mr. Samoei emblems that were taken away were brought back and there was ... view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: When we look at copyright, we have seen flags that are almost close to our national flag. Sen. (Dr.) Zani was talking about people trying to copy our National Anthem, I thought that would be a challenge. Recently when we had the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2020, I heard Sen. Orengo when he was talking about basic structure saying the Constitution can be amended safe for the name of Kenya and our National Anthem which is a like a prayer. Part of it says: “Oh God of all creation---” Justice be our shield and defender---” view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: I got excited and looked at our National Anthem. In my mind, I said the person who came up with it did well. There is need to ensure there is a copyright so that nobody will mess up with it or steal it from us so that it remain intact and be appreciated by the future generation it was coined on a godly basis. view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, when it comes to copyright we have been speaking about talents. Our artists have been complaining so much. One takes a lot of energy to compose a wonderful music or art work. Sen. (Dr.) Zani talked about kiondos and Maasai view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: a. I was with her in Dubai and got a surprise that somebody was trying to imitate the Maasai regalia. view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: We have been gaining a lot through tourisms because when people come to Kenya, they want to see Maasai and learn a bit of their culture. We are very grateful to the Maasai because even those who have gone to school maintain their attire. We have seen Sen. Olekina dressing in Maasai regalia. It has been maintained for a very long time and it is very attractive such that even other communities are embracing it. view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: Narok County neighbours my Bomet County. We normally borrow their regalia for special ceremonies. This shows that our cultural attire is very important. There is every reason for copyrighting these items. New Section 3A is speaking to copyright of National Anthem, other material such as symbols such as music to ensure they are protected and nobody will take them away from us. 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
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: Clause 3 that amends Section 25 is still speaking to copyright. It is now proposed to be amended to ensure we have a provision that protects these items so that come the future we will not be worried. Anything can happen as we have seen many things being taken away. In my county, we share the tea estates with Kericho County. Recently the 99 land lease expired. I hope it will not be renewed so that our children benefit from these tea estates in their lifetime. It is my prayer that as a matter of urgency, this Bill will be ... view
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish Sen. (Dr.) Lang’at would substantiate what he means by deep state. He is constantly using it against Members here and we do not know what it actually means. view
