    "content": "we really are as a country. What is it that we are known for? We know that even in the field of athletics, our young people sometimes just end up being poor. They are not even assisted to manage their resources. We also need to ensure that we have technology-driven innovation, so that we have incubation centres. Currently, there are very few incubation centres where young people can meet, discuss about their ideas and explore them. I know about the iHub and the Chandaria Incubation Centre at Kenyatta University, but those are few and far in-between. We need to establish them in each and every university. We need to ensure that our universities are known as centres of excellence of particular disciplines and not just offering every other course they may want to do because it is a money making venture. We need to ensure we reform the idea. An example is the 30 under 30 entrepreneurs under the Forbes Africa’s title. We just name them then they disappear into thin air. We need to ensure that we follow them up. We need to ensure that we quantify, we project and cost the potential of job creation of these ideas. So, I will not belabour the point further. I have argued in the interest of young people. Let us consider them. Let us give them an opportunity. Let us look at what already exists, so that we can make a difference in this 11th Parliament or in the future so that our young people can move forward and help our country grow. I beg to move and call upon Hon. Gatobu to second."
