    "content": "In Kenya, I believe the Jubilee Administration, by having the Youth Enterprise Development Fund or the Uwezo Fund and the technical institutes, is moving in the right direction. But it must move a step further by identifying research and development centres. Right now, we think we are doing very well because we have the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) and the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI). Those are based in different fields. On the side of innovations, particularly in industrialisation, computer technology and software development, we can do a lot. If the Government makes a deliberate effort to invest in those important areas, we will do well and move in the right direction. A good example is the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), major highways or industries that have come up in recent years. These will provide a major source of training to young people so that they can understand engineering and innovation. It has taken us over 100 years plus to come up with a second railway line. This is because we have not invested in knowledge economy where young people are allowed or encouraged to think at very early stages in their lives."
