    "content": "This is the final one, Hon. Speaker. THAT, aware that there are many talented people amongst the youth in this country; having noted that those talents have been severally displayed through various inventions and innovations by the youth in platforms such as the Science Congress and the Annual Youth Innovation Week; concerned that most of those discoveries do not go beyond making sensational newspaper and electronic media stories; noting that most of those innovations are aimed at addressing the problems that afflict us as Kenyans on a daily basis; further concerned that there is inadequate enabling legislation and administrative measures to support those innovations; cognisant of the fact that the Kenya Vision 2030 seeks to make our country an industrialised middle-income economy in the next 14 years; aware of the immense potential for wealth creation and job opportunities that such innovations would generate if well-developed and commercialised; also recognising that our imports are well in excess of Kshs1.3 billion shillings, a gap that would be narrowed if we had our own local production, this House urges the Government to support youth innovation by creating an innovation fund and a national incubation system among other measures to support our talented youth."
