    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, clauses 27 to 32 of the Bill cover such incentives, and the facilitation and protection of intellectual property for start-ups. As I said earlier, many young people are taken advantage of by more established business people who find a young man or lady with a good idea, but does not know how to register intellectual property rights. They steal it and register it as their own because they are more established. This Bill seeks to protect such people, so that they know how to register and protect their intellectual properties. Under the same provisions of this Bill, we will provide both fiscal and non-fiscal support to start-ups. The fiscal support includes issues around taxation. We should think of the tax incentives that we will give to start-ups. Taxation can become a hindrance to the growth of business and access to capital. Therefore, the Bill will provide both fiscal and non-fiscal support for start-ups. There will also be targeted incentives for persons with disabilities, young people, women and marginalised groups in our country who want to establish start-ups. We will have very good incentives that will support their businesses and growth. Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those many remarks, I beg to support this Bill. I thank Hon. Irene Mayaka and Senator Esther."
