    "content": "an independent arbiter by listening to presentations by the arms of the Government and advising on the ceilings for each of them. They should independently look at things and realise that the biggest opportunity for our country does not lie in mining, but rather in sports because we dominate sports globally. However, how much do we get out of the sporting industry in terms of levies from sporting tourism? Everybody will be crying for programmes, but which programmes are giving value to our money? We are missing big opportunities arising from diaspora remittances. Countries like the Philippines, Pakistan and India receive in excess of US$60 billion annually in diaspora remittances. We are celebrating remittances of Kshs1 billion yet Kenya boasts of having the most developed human capital in the world. There is absolutely no sector where we do not have experts. Ultimately, inventions like electricity by Charles Edison have impacted the world. The enterprises they created centuries back still prevail. Companies like General Electric are still roaring big 200 years later because of the invention of the light bulb. If we encourage our human capital base and think about an invention to carry Kenya to the next level of development, we can make a great stride. With those remarks, I beg to support."
