    "content": "We have to do away with KIRDI as it is now, a department of a ministry somewhere, and make it autonomous. By making it autonomous, it would mean that it will be independent to hire its own experts to spur innovation. It will be free to collaborate with universities and other institutions of research. The research can be localised in such a way that it can jumpstart the economy and reduce the rate of unemployment. It is not that we do not have innovative young people, but they do not know where to go. There is no Government department to show them where to register their innovations. They do not know where to go or what to do when they have a burning issue. We have seen innovations displayed on televisions, but at the end of the day, it ends there; televisions. It does not help the young people. With direct funding from the Government, bilateral and multilateral donors, I believe KIRDI will be responsive to the needs of this country. I support."
