    "content": "and 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; noting that most of these innovations and artworks are crucial in ideas promotion, intellectual development and at creating employment and addressing the problems that affect us as Kenyans on a daily basis; concerned that there is inadequate support and administrative measures to support the artisans; cognizant of the fact that the Kenya Vision 2030 seeks to make our country an industrialised middle-income economy in the next nine (9) years; aware of the immense potential for wealth creation and job opportunities through our own local production generate if well-developed and commercialised; also recognising that our imports are well in excess of Kshs2 billion and most of these imports are not relevant to the Kenyan market; noting that homegrown technology would be region sensitive and appropriate for the environment, social economic dynamics and suitable for our utility; further concerned that most of these artisans lack appropriate technology, skills, capital and tools, this House, therefore, resolves that the national Government, through the relevant ministry, formulates a policy which stipulates that two per cent of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) and the UWEZO Fund is allocated for the purpose of equipping the artisans with the necessary skills, technology and tools. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
