    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that there are diverse talents among the youth of this country; noting that these talents have been severally displayed through various inventions and innovations which have been showcased by the artisans in platforms such as the Annual Youth Innovation Week and others profiled on social media; concerned that most of these innovations and artworks do not go beyond making sensational stories in their localities, local dailies and social media mentions; further noting that most of those innovations and artworks are crucial in ideas promotion, intellectual development, creating employment and addressing the problems that affect us as Kenyans on a daily basis; concerned that there is inadequate support and administrative measures in place by the Government to support the artisans; cognizant of the fact that the Kenya Vision 2030 seeks to make our country an industrialized middle income economy; aware of the immense potential for wealth creation and job opportunities that our local productions can generate if well-developed and commercialized; recognizing that while our imports are well in excess of Kshs2 billion and are largely composed of non-value adding consumer goods; noting that home-grown talent and technology would be regional sensitive and appropriate for the environment that we live in, the social economic dynamics and suitable for our utility; further concerned that most artisans lack appropriate technological skills, capital and tools, this House, therefore, resolves that the national Government, through the relevant ministry, formulates a policy which stipulates that, at least, 2 per cent of the National Government-Constituencies Development Fund and Uwezo Fund is allocated for the purpose of equipping artisans with the necessary skills, tools and technology."
