    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is well noted. I wish to start by thanking Hon. K.J. for a job well done. This Bill is creating an authority that will oversee the establishment of technopolis zones in this country. Recently, I had an opportunity of seeing what is happening at Konza City. I did not believe my eyes because a lot has been done. I saw the horizontal development and type of infrastructure that has been set up in that place. As a House, the best we can do is to support this legislation so that what is happening at Konza City can be replicated across the country. This will project our country as one of the best investment destinations. Going by the kind of education and training our young people are going through, we can clearly see the future. We can also quickly predict that in the coming years, they will be greatly enabled by technology to undertake responsibilities and work. As a House, the best we can do is to legislate not for ourselves, but for future generations. So, they will find a legal framework that will facilitate investment from local and foreign investors. I wish to mention Tatu City which is located near Thika Road. It is an investment similar to Konza City although, maybe, they are not at the same level. I usually pass near that city and see the thousands of young people and innovation hubs. They work day and night at the Call Centre International (CCI). If such organisations are established in other places in the country, our growing population of young people who are well educated but still jobless will find work to do and be proud of this country. I believe where I come from, that is Runyenjes Constituency in Embu County and the wider Mbeere part of this country which is very expansive, will benefit from the establishment of technopolis zones. Hon. Temporary Speaker, you had indicated that I should be generous to my colleague from the county that hosts Konza City. I want to keep my word and rest my case there. I support. Thank you."
