    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I thank Sen. Sakaja for acknowledging that these suggestions are not without merit and that they will take care of them at the Committee Stage. Finally, we must make it clear also that although we have a Start up Bill and an agency dedicated to startups, a startup does not become a startup because it is registered under this Act. People can still operate with their startups beyond this. Thy can build up incubators in the private sector without necessarily coming through this Bill. Those people who are going to promote other businesses whether it is non- governmental, government, partnerships or private or international businesses that want to assist businesses grow in other parts of the country. We do not want to create a situation where if an international investor or non- governmental or inter-governmental institution would like to assist startups businesses that want to come up, innovations and technologies in this country, someone will tell them that they cannot finance these institutions unless registered under this Act or go through the agency. That will create unnecessary bureaucracies. I agree with Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Sen. Sen. Cheruiyot on the duty of Government in ensuring this succeeds. I know Sen. Wetangula used to tell me here that towards the beginning of this term of Jubilee administration I continued going further and further from the centre. He used that example that I was in the outer layer of the onion ring."
