    "content": "As I conclude, there are things that kill our institutes. First and foremost is the issue of funding. These are good institutes, but when we do not fund them for their operations, they fail. Unless we fund them in our budget, they are bound to fail. That is the only way they can do research. Our universities do not conduct research nowadays because they have no funding. So, we need to make sure that we fund these institutions, so that they can conduct research and explore new ways to develop our products. The other thing that kills our institutes is politics. Our politics are not developmental. We just want to kill everything that comes from the other side. We also kill our institutes by employing unqualified personnel. Due to the network and connections people have, we give jobs to the wrong people to lead particular institutes. When they get there, they fail the institutes completely. We need to check such kind of things. The institutes that are coming up right now, we want to tell those responsible to employ qualified Kenyans no matter their backgrounds, political affiliations or tribes. Giving jobs in such institutes to the right people will enable the country to do better than other countries. That is my view."
