I will contribute and there will be more time for my colleague here. First, I would like to say that the issue of space science is a very useful area of study. Great nations like the US, Russia and China spend a lot in the area of space science. It gives us a lot of information in the sector. Therefore, this Agreement between the Italian and the Kenyan Governments on the Luigi Broglio Space Centre is very important to Kenya. I have heard a few of my colleagues say that we may not have received a lot of benefits from the Centre, but the fact that it has been there for over 50 years means it has some usefulness to the nation. The Agreement talks a lot about training, capacity building, scholarships and necessary transfer of technology from the Italian Government to us."}
