    "content": "going to put food on the table for large majority of the very poor and vulnerable people. This money must be made accessible in the easiest way to our people in the rural areas. I think sometimes it is sad for an old lady or an old man to travel over 200 kilometers to collect Kshs2000. We must put in a regime that will make that money available to the people in the easiest way. In the foreign affairs, we see the area of international trade and investment promotion. In our recent committee visit to our embassy in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, we noticed that the embassies are not empowered; there are not enough resources for them to carry out investment. I think this is an area that we must look at with a very clear lens, so that we define clearly that now it is about economic diplomacy. If diplomats do not have enough resources, how will they be able to undertake that? Finally, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to talk about the area of research, science and technology and innovation which the Committee has allocated Kshs592 million. This is good, but if we have to grow Kenya we have to look at the knowledge economy because everything today is research based. If we do not allocate this sector enough resources I think we will be trying to find new solutions using the old ways and methods. I thank you for giving me this opportunity."
