    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think that I need to respond. For purposes of clarity, would it surprise you, Senators, that there is an outfit in Kenya called the Kenya National Innovation Agency under the Science and Technology Act of 2013? What has that agency done since 2013? That is why I say that political goodwill is Government and our Government does not love her people. That is the reason why instead of promoting innovation which is Part Two of this Bill to facilitate transfer of technology, it does otherwise. When the President was opening the Mtito Andei Section which was part five of the SGR contract, I told him, “Your Excellency, can you allow the young people in Makueni to be given the technology of even repairing the SGR?” However, that never came to pass. If you travel in the SGR, there is always a bogie at the back with foreigners whose work is to fix the train, the Air Conditioner (AC) and other things. A lot to the contracts that are in the country do not have innovation or technology transfer. This Bill is important because Part Four speaks about certification of incubators. Before Sen. Sakaja came into the Chamber, I talked about Nailab that was established by Mr. Sam Gichuru along Ngong Road to incubate and accelerate ICT start-ups. People can go into Nailab to use that platform as an opportunity to create things. The person who owns Instagram and Facebook is an innovator. The digital taxi hailing applications that we have are innovations. Sen. Sakaja through this Bill tried to find better ways for the drivers who use those applications to earn. The people running the taxi hailing"
