    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to reply. On the outset, I want to thank all my colleagues, Senators, for contributing overwhelmingly to this important Motion which talks about the importance of science, technology and innovation particularly in the world today and more so that as Kenyans, we need to embrace the same ideal and ideas at such a time when we are driving Vision 2030. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Kenyans are very brilliant people, as was shown by the research findings by the National Council for Science and Technology. Indeed, we need to commercialize some of their findings and utilize the technology so discovered for the betterment of humankind. For example, Kenyans discovered M-Pesa, as was mentioned here. Look at the revolution that M-Pesa has done in Kenya, East Africa and the whole world. Therefore, the Government needs to mainstream and come up with policies that will drive science, technology and innovation at all levels of our education, starting from the lowest to the highest. We should identify some of the people who have excelled and moved on. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
