    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, because of time and because we already moved this, I want to move that this Bill be read the Second Time. The memorandum of this Bill is clear on how it intends to foster innovative thinking and entrepreneurship. We are not creating another entity but just emanating the Kenya National Innovation Agency (KNIA) which already exits to take up many of these roles. We have also talked of the role of county governments. It will be very easy. I am glad you said from the Chair: ‘When I become Governor.’ That is the Speaker’s direction and it must be obeyed. I cannot let you down. I must become Governor. Today, if you ask the young people of Nairobi City County to give an innovation of how to sort the water problem and the one who does, will be given the tender to implement it. You will have many ideas including technology to see where leakages are and how to deal with the infrastructure of it. If Parliament today created a hacker space and asked young people how they think we can do public participation better and connect with the people of this country; they will innovate because there are many innovation hubs. So, this just creates that regulatory framework. We do not want to over regulate the industry but just help nurture and incubate the industry. With those many words, I move that this Bill be read the Second Time. I ask Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. to begin seconding because of time. When we come back next week, he will have prepared to second much more."
