    "content": "and highly qualified. Some of his colleagues are not able to serve in this country because we have not developed capacity. We have had to suffer brain drain as a country because those who have trained in this highly sophisticated area have had to go to other nations. For example, some of them are serving in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). There are other nuclear scientists who are not able to serve in this country, but are serving in other countries. For us to stop that brain drain, we need to come up with a national policy in space law. We need to develop and create the necessary ware-force to enable us to catch up with the rest of the world with who we were at par at Independence. Those countries include Korea, Singapore and Malaysia. Today, the so- called Asian tigers have all joined the rest of the world in the space race and have launched satellites. Today, Korea is one of the most developed countries as far as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is concerned. Kenya has been out- distanced and has been left behind in this very important area of development. For a long time, we have told the children of this country to work hard. We have told them that the sky is the limit. With time, we have discovered that the sky is not the limit. Beyond the sky and outer space, there is much more to be discovered. In the 1950s and 1960s, there was a race to colonize Africa and other parts of the world. That race is now complete with independence of the states and the youngest state, Southern Sudan, having been born recently, the rest has now moved to colonization of outer space. Kenya must join the rest of the world in that race. For a long time, we have been told that the speed of light was the highest until recently, when we have been told of newtronics. Those are particles that travel faster than light. For a long time, the world believed that the earth was flat until it was discovered that the earth is round. All those discoveries have come through the human endevours that were able to look beyond the horizon."
