    "content": ".: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to second the Startup Bill, 2021. From the outset, I support what Sen. Sakaja has said. In February during our trip to Dubai 2021 Expo sponsored by the Speaker, I learnt that they were looking for 104 startup outfits in Kenya. What surprised me is that they only found four. It occurred to me, as Sen. Sakaja said, the people who should be at the front – Government – to help young people do startups are not doing so. Either they do not want to support or much worse, they do not understand this. As a result, the Minister in charge in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Government, was shocked that Kenya could not provide the sort of people they wanted. These people are available. You can imagine out of 104 companies they requested for, only four managed to do this. Sen. Sakaja, Sen. Kavindu Muthama and I attempted this at Konza and we had young people from Makueni, Machakos and Nairobi City County who had not even seen a computer in the life, do a compass on a laptop created by Jomo Kenyatta University. It is amazing that the in just two days, the young people were able to do it."
