    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this very important matter. This Motion has been on the Floor before. Definitely, there is a lot of improvement comparing what we discussed in the 11th Parliament and what we are discussing now. I want to concentrate on the aspect of corporate social responsibility, which was raised by the Member for Kilifi North, Hon. Baya. When you have something of this nature, corporate social responsibility is very important. First, the Space Centre is in Malindi because of the site’s global positioning. That is the best position for a space centre to operate from. When it comes to corporate social responsibility, the Agreement puts some plausible and substantial base. It is very important for the local community to benefit. The children who are growing around that area can be influenced by the presence of that facility to become space experts in future. The space centre will encourage the children around there to study hard and get scholarships for them to come back and work at the facility. So, being there is already a blessing to our country. We owe it to global positioning. As a House, we need to support it for the benefit of the many Kenyans who come from that area. When it comes to the issue raised by Hon. Baya on public participation, and more so with regard to what he said about the county government... I believe Hon. Baya and his colleagues from that area sufficiently represent the people of Kilifi. Therefore, the excuses by my friend and former classmate, Governor Kingi, notwithstanding, Hon. Baya is here. He can report to us and we can work with him to make sure that the Space Centre is useful to Kenyans. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
