    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also like briefly to say that the issue of research should be taken seriously in this country. While we have a lot of competent professionals and scientists, their hands are tied because we do not allocate funds to them. I think it is high time that, we, as a country, thought of not just using what has already been researched on and found by other countries and being consumers of other people’s researches but creating innovativeness that is there within our professionals and scientists by financing and investing. It is interesting to note that researches are like gambling where the results cannot be assured. I think that is why with our minimal resources, we do not want to invest but when the results turn positive, they can be revolutionary. That competence is within this country and I think it is very important that we, as leaders and policy makers, enhance what is there and, therefore, spread thin the already minimal resources that we have. It is important that we enhance the capacity of KEMRI. We should find funds to sponsor scientists and researchers to come up with better prevention methods and even eradication of malaria."
