    "content": "sector, in big companies--- When you look at them in detail is by foreigners. I am a believer that if Kenya is to grow, then wealth has to find its way into the pockets of Kenyans. Therefore we should be able to make legislation and regulation in this House that will benefit the young and upcoming Kenyans. I am a firm believer that probably our answer to the question of youth unemployment in Kenya lies in the Telkoms sector. We should remove as many barriers as possible from this sector to enable young entrepreneurs--- Let us not allow the big companies to take them for a ride. Some of the biggest innovations in this country, for example, the automatic vehicle parking systems, have been developed by Kenyan students in laboratories. I find it an act of mischief that as our students and young people develop these things in the laboratory, they are paid peanuts and the huge companies and corporations start to enjoy the benefits. I am made to understand that the famous M-Pesa service could have been developed in one of the laboratories in our universities. If we had allowed the young Kenyan who developed that famous money transfer system to be able to get some royalties, a minimum amount and a small percentage per every transaction, we would be on our way to creating young Kenyan billionaires and making Kenya a better place to live in. With those remarks, I beg to support."
