RECOMMENDATION We are prac@@oner's but not perfec@onist in the crea@ve economy. What we require as a con@nent is an Pan African Federa@on that shall harmonize our con@nent core values reason being we have similari@es among the different rich and diverse culture across our mother land.
All our African challenges, the solu@ons are within our reach for we very well understand the history in which our fore fathers fought for our freedom, and our heritage is the pride of our resourceful people. IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO US.
The Future
Kenyans who have received interna6onal recogni6on and nomina@on for interna6onal awards have shown that inves6ng in the arts and entertainment sectors will not only create jobs; it will boost tourism, and promote our culture around the world. To that end we will legislate to increase local content to 60% from the current 40% in local free-‐to-‐air TV channels.
