    "content": "youth. You and I are aware, and sometimes I cannot remember the date, but last year in October, there was a big conference here in Nairobi which brought together the entire world on the issue of the Blue Economy. The Blue Economy is a new opportunity that Kenya needs to take advantage of and make sure that we open up this place so that the youth can get jobs and also boost our economy. This concept has not been exploited for a number of years. We know very well there is a lot of trade that is going on in the ocean. There is a lot of trade that is going on in our lakes but we have not taken full advantage of this concept. I expected the President to give us a direction on what is exactly going on. We are seeing a number of companies closing down instead of improving. We have invested heavily on projects like the SGR and road networks. We are hearing that there are some other networks being opened but here is an opportunity that will make Kenya take a position on the world map. It is the prerogative of the President to give direction on how soon this opportunity can be taken advantage of so that the generations to come can start on a better slate than us because we have wasted a lot of time without taking advantage of this opportunity. Because of time, as my honourable friend has said here, this is an issue that needs to be given ample time for Members to contribute on because it is giving direction on where the nation is going. All said and done, I stand to support the State of the Nation Address by the President. Thank you."
