Resumen The Act concerns protection of traditional knowledge (including knowledge relating to agriculture and the environment) and cultural expressions in Kenya. It concerns, among other things, definition and management of rights in this respect and civil remedies. In the performance of the functions and exercise of powers under this Act, every person dealing with matters relating to traditional knowledge or cultural expressions shall be guided by the national values and principles of governance set out in Article 10 of the Constitution. An authorization granted under this Act to access protected traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources shall not be an authorization to access the associated genetic resources. "Genetic resources" means microorganisms, plant and animal material including indigenous seeds, genetic plant varieties and traditional animal breeds that contain functional hereditary units and whose management shall also be subject of other relevant legislations. Where protected traditional knowledge is not being sufficiently exploited by the owner or rights holder, or where the owner or holder of rights in traditional knowledge refuses to grant licenses for exploitation, the Cabinet Secretary may, with prior informed consent of the owners, grant a compulsory licence for exploitation subject to Article 40(3) (b) of the Constitution.
