    "content": "few years ago there was a young man from Nyeri - I stand to be corrected - who had never gone beyond Standard Seven. He was able to make a radio transmitter, he even moved ahead to make a television transmitter and I think for a time there was a television station which was broadcasting from Machakos in a rundown warehouse called Uwembo Television Station. I could be wrong, but I remember that young man with a lot of nostalgia. The problem in our country has been that when we see this productive youth, instead of supporting them we ridicule them. Recently there was a young man in Kiambu County who was attempting to make a helicopter. Instead of the Government coming forward to help him, he was declared a threat to the security. A few years ago, there was a similar young man in Trans Nzoia who was also trying to make a helicopter. Again, he struggled. I remember there was a day he promised the whole nation that his chopper would fly and television crew went there. I do not know what has happened to him. As an engineer, I want to say that in the case of the young man from Kiambu County, I am very pleased to report that our association; the Association of Consulting Engineers of Kenya, at least, went out of its way and bought the young man a motor bike to be able to earn a living so that he can incubate what is in his mind. These are the things that we need to do. As we do that, I thank hon. Njomo more sincerely."
