    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, we are trying to push for job creation under Konza Technopolis. We need enough investors to come on board and take up leases, put up data centres and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) or engage Kenyans in businesses that will create jobs. Some investors wanted to come in a big way, including the Fortune 500 companies such as Facebook, which is now referred to as Meta . They look at the kind of incentives the Government provides. That is, the kind of incentives they will get from where they set up their business. This Bill will provide a framework in terms of the incentives. Having the Board and the Technopolis as a legal framework will address that. We will have investors come in big time and looking for tax exceptions, incentives in terms of Government innovation grants and such things. This is one of the issues that the Bill will address because as it is now, there is no legal framework of the same and so the same cannot be achieved."
