00:00 Let me also say the following, that I remember giving my instructions to the KICD
00:09 and that gentleman was there and I said all this talent on display here, the scripts,
00:19 the songs, the music, the film, the drama should be digitized.
00:29 I have been informed that a good measure of digitization has been done.
00:34 Let me now push it a little bit further that, Aziri Machogu, I want you to lie us
00:42 with your counterpart in ICT so that within the next month all that program is concluded.
00:53 And because we have worked hard as government and we now have opportunities of monetizing
01:00 what you saw here, we are going to make money out of it.
01:05 Number one, the Presidential Commission on Music, the permanent Presidential Commission
01:17 on Music Commission, we've made a policy decision as government that we are now going
01:24 to change it to the Creative Commission of Kenya.
01:29 And we are fashioning the law so that we are already working on a creative bill
01:40 that is going to make sure that the Creative Commission will not only have professional
01:48 studios in Nairobi but in every county in Kenya.
01:54 Working with the county governments so that we can give opportunity to every artist,
02:04 whether they are in primary school, whether they are in secondary school, to explore
02:10 the opportunities that are there for them to be able to professionalize the art that
02:17 they are gifted with.
02:20 And let me say that I have given Ababu Nwamba and team a maximum of two months
02:27 to make sure that the bill finds its way to parliament and I am happy members of parliament
02:33 here, both at the national and at the county level, that we fast track this bill so that
02:41 we can build the right space for us to monetize this great talent.
