"content": "What I am trying to say is that we have the potential. We also have many people, at a personal level, who are doing a lot and yet nobody is deliberately making effort to follow them up. If only such people could be supported, we would be having many learning centres by now. Indeed, if this happened, I am convinced that my county would not be where it is today. If, say, a county just allocated Kshs10 million for purposes of promoting what exists or adding value to what exists, we would be far in terms of development. In my view, this is exactly where the innovation fund should go. Even if you look at it at the level of the national Government, it should be approached in a manner that it goes to the smaller levels. We need to separate those that will appear very scientific from those that are very simple that one can add little information, talent and effort and it changes everything that happens around us. I want to support this idea in the sense that the Government needs to start thinking seriously in terms harnessing whatever individuals are doing all over the country. That way, we will have more learning centres for purposes of creativity and production. I am interested more in food production, because we do not need to go hungry as a nation."
