    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that Institute has a lot of potential to move us forward in terms of industrialisation. Noting this potential, I strongly support the Bill. This Institute should be independent and should be given enough funds to do what it is supposed to do, which is to properly carry out research and come up with products so that we can benefit from them. Previously, KIRDI used to advertise the results of their research in terms of products that they thought could move us forward. Those products could benefit Kenyans. Investors were starting small businesses. I remember that in Kisumu, there was a sorghum plant that was supposed to supply raw materials for making mkate and other products of that kind. Small ventures like the one I am referring to were supposed to employ 15 to 20 people. That is the kind of thing we need in this country, so that we can create employment. We are on the right path with this Bill. We need to support KIDRI and give it the legal life it needs."
