    "content": "THAT, aware that there are many talents amongst the youth of this country; noting that these talents have been severally displayed through various inventions and also innovations by the artisans in platforms such as the Annual Youth Innovation Week and profiled on social media; concerned, that most of those innovations and artworks do not go beyond making sensational stories in their localities, local dailies and social media mentions; noting that most of those innovations and artworks are crucial in ideas promotion, intellectual development and at creating employment and addressing the problems that affect us as Kenyans on a daily basis; concerned that there is inadequate support and administrative measures to support the artisans; cognisant of the fact that the Kenya Vision 2030 seeks to make our country an industrialized middle-income economy in the next nine years; aware of the immense potential for wealth creation and job opportunities through our own local production generated if well-developed and commercialized; also recognizing that our imports are well in excess of Ksh2 billion and most of those imports are not relevant to the Kenyan market, noting that homegrown technology would be region-sensitive and appropriate for the environment, social economic dynamic and suitable for our utility; further concerned that most of those artisans lack appropriate technology, skills, capital and tools; this House resolves that the National Government, through the relevant Ministry, formulates a policy ring-fencing 2 per cent of the monies allocated under the National Government Constituencies Fund and Uwezo Fund for the purposes of equipping artisans with the necessary skill, technology and tools."
