    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for accommodating me. I am juggling between the House and a sitting of a parliamentary Committee on the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) matter of which I am the Chair. Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that Article 11(2)(b) of the Constitution provides that the government shall recognise the role of science and indigenous technologies in the development of the nation; further aware that the Vision 2030 provides for the integration of information, communication and technology in the country’s transformative agenda; concerned that there exists no science museum for consolidating indigenous scientific and technological innovations, training and research purposes in the East Africa region; appreciating that integration of science and technology would greatly enhance Kenya’s economic and societal success; noting that there is potential for growth in the technology sector by establishing a science museum; further noting that the informal science education plays a key role in the progression of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM); acknowledging that science museums operate as the nexus between science practitioners, policy-makers and the public; cognisant of the fact that a science museum in the country would greatly impact on the economy of the country in the quest to become an industrialised nation; now, therefore, this House resolves that the national Government, through the relevant ministries establish and operationalise a science museum in the country."
