    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute and support this Motion on science, technology and innovation. I am looking at science, technology and innovation to be a potential and significant contributor towards the attainment of Vision 2030. It also helps to mainstream the system of education at all levels of education and academia. It goes a long way in the creation of science, technology and innovation in our Kenyan culture. It will also contribute more effectively in increasing confidence when dealing with science, technology and innovation, including developing curiosity and skills and all methods of inquiry in our young ones who are still of school going age. Madam Temporary Speaker, science and technology also prepares students to be responsible in their future as Kenyan citizens. It prepares some of them to pursue higher education and career in this line of science and technology. The issue of science and technology helps children because as they graduate from primary education and move on to secondary schools, they are equipped with skills for eight years, and these skills help them reach a stage of maturity which in turns helps them to have a developed mind and a positive attitude towards science as a career in their lives. Madam Temporary Speaker, many young people feel differently towards science. They believe it is beyond their understanding simply because they develop a negative attitude towards it because of the way it is introduced in their academic life. Science and technology plays a significant role because it is a technology. If this technology is well developed, it can also boost the economy of the country. It is also a way which can build the capacity of people such that many people who are not involved in white collar jobs can engage themselves in self employment, thus reducing poverty levels and also the number of people seeking employment. Because when people have science within themselves and they are able to become good innovators, then the issue of looking for opportunities to be hired in white collar jobs reduces. So many young ones come up as innovators and they create job opportunities for others and for themselves. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to support this Motion."
