    "content": " The KIRDI is very useful. Research in the country is important and manufacturing is key. I am a little disappointed as a Member of the Department Committee on Trade Industry and Cooperatives because manufacturing has not been funded properly, and it is a responsibility of this House. Any young person who tries to manufacture or venture, having borrowed money from KIE and other places… I have a lady in Makueni Constituency who is manufacturing nails having been helped by KIE and properly incubated after university. She did not look for a job, but went straight into manufacturing nails and she is making a living out of that and have been able to repay the loan she took from KIE. I also have a young person who, in an effort to go into manufacturing, met so many conditions. One has to have this sort of qualifications and approvals from all manner of places. Eventually, most of them give up. As a country, we need to develop an attitude of helping young people with great ideas to make them a reality and this is what KIRDI is doing. That is why this law is very important. You have heard of the Science and Technology Act which has not been implemented. Part of this is shared in the KIRDI dream. It became a debate when we were coming up with this law and to some extent, some people thought that there was a duplication. That law not having been applied and KIRDI being so specialised – and it has been in operation for decades - this is the time Parliament needs to go into history as people who approved KIRDI and changed manufacturing The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
