    "content": "infrastructure development and to be competitive in the international arena. We are looking for opportunities to enhance entrepreneurial ecosystems, knowledge transfer and improve the quality of life. This Bill addresses the objectives under Clause 3. Part II addresses the Technopolis Development Authority and its responsibility. Having gone through the responsibilities and functions of this Authority, I am satisfied that it will enhance the achievement of these objectives. We will need a lot of investment for this to be realised. Everything comes at a cost. For us to jump fast enough in the world of technology, we have to support a Bill like this. I was in Kigali, Rwanda last month. We are slowly being caught up by countries like Rwanda that have made service delivery and technological concerns part of their economic agenda. We can see the kind of investments that Rwanda is attracting, the kind of enthusiasm among its youth and the kind of innovations that are coming up there. So, this Bill will come in handy to address some of the issues that I have mentioned. I am sure that, going forward, we shall have an authority and technopolis centres spread all over. I want to ask the Government to allocate more resources to these centres for the sake of our youth and the economy of this country. We need to grow manufacturing industries and agriculture. We need to offer services and be competitive in the world. With those few remarks I support."
