    "content": "In addition to that, we also realise that innovation that comes from research is what has lifted those organisations that are doing very well right now. We realise that Safaricom Kenya Limited that started in our country recently is one of the leading private organisations in East and Central Africa. It is very unfortunate that we lost its Chief Executive Officer (CEO). I pass my condolences to his family. There are very many innovative products that are in Safaricom right now. It is a major employer in our country. It is assisting students from needy families to school. We also have banks such as Equity doing very well because of the innovation that is going on there. Madam Temporary Speaker, we need our university graduates to come out with a lot of knowledge from research so that development in our country can move to the next level. We have just come out from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and we expect to meet the sustainable development goals. They cannot be achievable without input of new knowledge so that we are able to achieve whatever is prescribed in those goals. Sometimes in the year 2017, our universities were even required to reduce their staff so that they could release some amount of money for research. However, rather than asking them to reduce staff, our Government had better enhance employment of staff. When we reduce staff, we may even miss personnel to conduct research.
