As the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research indicated, we realise that one of the things that the Ministry overlooked was to involve everybody to ensure they are onboard when rolling out this curriculum. This is not a one-man show. It is important that all stakeholders are involved so that they can give their views, just like the Member for Emuhaya has said. It is not very good to victimise some people who have dissenting voices, especially the teachers who are suffering today because of the views they gave. Secondly, I come from a rural constituency where ...

It is expected that in this curriculum, the teacher will handle few students in a classroom. As much as we say that the 8-4-4 System of Education is a failure, it has benefited many people. The methodology that is being used to roll out this curriculum is likely to fail. Those are the fears we are addressing and the people responsible should take that into account. In this House, you realise that most of our children especially in primary school go to private schools. This kind of curriculum is likely to benefit a few in this country. Therefore, the majority ...

This Treaty is very important because local artists take hours, days and sometimes even years to come up with content that can earn them some income, only to realise that people come in between and take advantage of them and make millions of shillings out of it. The other day, when we were doing public participation on the Data Protection Bill, there was a submission on this aspect. A creative young lady was take advantage of by her who made millions of shillings out of her. This Treaty is going to protect the creator of content and ensure that what ...

This Treaty will ensure that there is proper framework for working in this industry. We will have proper management. This will ensure that even if a person spends hours trying to come up with something that is going to be beneficial to the society, should it be taken out of this country, the owner will always remain respected having been the original producer of the content that may have acquired an international outlook. Therefore, this is a very important Treaty and we need to ratify it very fast. Countries out there and within the continent are ahead of us. We ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I congratulate the Committee for coming up with the ratification of the treaty, which is so timely in this era. Today as we speak, we are living in a global village. You realise that right now even in some flights, the communication space has increased that you get into an airline or airport and you will find that you have Wi-Fi even in space. That way, we will even have some people who have ill intentions to stay on communication. We live in an era that ...
