    "content": "because if we are not creative and innovative and we are constantly talking about joblessness, we will be in this situation forever. We will even be poorer. This is because potential areas for purposes of creating jobs will not be there. So, if our Government was enough, we would have an entity like Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA) that constantly isolates and follows up on what individuals do privately. The Government could as well learn and borrow ideas from such bodies. For a long period of time during the implementation of the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP), the Government was investing a lot of money in the construction of fish ponds in our constituencies. I remember very well, even though I was not the Member of Parliament then, that my constituency was given Kshs40 million or something close to that for the purpose of setting up fish ponds. All those things are not there now. We now see the reality that it would have been much cheaper to do the fish ponds in the lake regions as opposed to struggling to set them up in areas within which communities have no idea what fish or fish ponds are. It was a waste of money."
