    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support and also congratulate my brother, Hon. John Kiarie for coming up with this Motion. Indeed, we really need to start thinking about the future. I have seen it even in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where they have come up with a museum of the future. They are thinking ahead in terms of what and how the country will look like in terms of technology. They have allocated certain resources for people to think and imagine how the future will look like. But, as a third world country, we find ourselves challenged by technology and it is already too late because other countries have already accommodated and aligned themselves with technology and are moving forward. We have cryptocurrency and AI, but as a Government and State, what are we doing to make sure that we incorporate the minds and innovations that are coming along with these type of innovations? We realise that we are really lagging behind and we must look for a way to motivate our young people, challenge them in terms of coming up with technologies, with innovations and maybe in a way or the other to harness that kind of thinking and mindset and start preparing them to take the future ahead of them. I support the Bill because we must allocate resources to things that matter in this country. Coming up with a museum in every county, is not a hard thing to ask for. I even propose that if it is difficult, then let us come up with one or two museums within our regions and within our Republic and try to encourage young people to come up with innovations. We should go ahead and set up a kitty that will support some of the students who are doing very well in innovations. We have seen in our media young people coming up with technologies but they end up going nowhere because of lack of capital or funding to ensure that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
