    "content": "But to date, it is totally unexploited because whatever it is that we are doing is what was left being done during the colonial days. I know a little bit of effort has been made, but I know if proper funds are provided as proposed in this Bill, then I think within Nyandarua County and others within the country, we will be able to make use of the potential that exists. There is also what Mr. Kivuti has said that, in so doing, we will have created employment. We really need to do everything that is possible for us to create employment. We have Vision 2030 which can only be realised if it is underpinned by such legislation. I know we have provisions in the Constitution which provide that in anything that we do, we must ensure that there is regional and ethnic balancing. I see the Bill proposes that a committee be established as provided for under Section 27 on Establishment of Scientific and Technical Committee. I think this is where we need to be careful because these are technical committees where we want the best brains to be engaged from whatever part of this country. Even if they were brothers, I would not want us to fail to benefit from such brains. It is important that when we are looking at ethnic and regional balancing, we should look at those things wholesomely. I think that is the principle that needs to be brought out more often from the constituency, so that such committees are manned by the best brains that we have in the country. As I said, it matters not whether they come from the same village or even from the same family. But I want to also ask that even as we seek to consolidate things and also talk about the establishment of county governments, we should also endevour to ensure that these institutions are also fairly spread in the country."
