    "content": "come from, the most remote areas, will be covered by this. It does not mean that if we come from the remotest part of this country, that the people there are not educated. Today in our country, even those who are not well educated are creative enough. They can be given the opportunity to do this and earn a living. I support this as the Bill emphasises on creation of a conducive environment. That conducive environment is something that our Government can invest in, so that we can give an equal opportunity to all our young people in the entire country. Through that, we will see the creativity, knowledge and skills that can put this country at another level. We know very well that Mpesa is our own invention and a Kenyan brand that has now moved globally. Given an opportunity in a conducive environment, I am sure our young people and those who are gifted and have knowledge in information, communication and technology (ICT) can grow in this. This will also help us to attract and retain world class talent. Some of our people are poor today due to lack of opportunity. Given a chance, we can open opportunities that are there and the potentials in different places with different people. I support this Bill, so that we can attract and retain that world class talent in order to compete with others. I am sure Hon. Temporary Speaker, once we do this, after some years, Kenyans will be happy and they will appreciate those who participated in passing this Bill. It will be very transformative to our country as it will give the young people the opportunity to participate. Again, the Bill provides for the adoption of sustainable environmental practices and technologies within the technopolis. That is all we need, and that is why I support the Bill."
