seeing in our towns. I have also witnessed in the past PwDs being bundled like garbage by council askaris into the county council vehicles whenever they do not have the licenses or permits to run their businesses. This Bill will bring sanity in licensing by ensuring the wrongs in the counties with regards to licensing are corrected. It is our onus as the Senate to ensure that we correct the wrongs that are in the counties because we are answerable to the counties so we should ensure service delivery to wananchi. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this ...

In the 1880s, we saw people coming up with innovations like communicative devices. The communicative devices we are using right now are not things that we have just come up with. The 1880s were the times of Sir Alexander Graham Bell. He had just invented the telephone. There was the telephone, then a modification of that telephone, and so on, and so forth. Right now we have the mobile phones.

Anything that we are using, even communicative devices like this, somebody somewhere sat and decided to do something. Sir Alexander Graham Bell is credited with being the first inventor of the telephone. At that time, he was able to patent his work. Even though he is not there anymore, we can read the many things he did and the inventions he made in history. We now have the mobile phone. We have a chronology of the upgrading of the communication systems and all that.

Madam Deputy Speaker, where you look at other devices like the radio, we did not just come up with it. Somebody somewhere sat and decided that they would come up with a communication device. The German physicist, Mr. Heinrich Hertz, came up with the first radio device in 1886. First of all, he was able to study this. In 1895, an Italian, Mr. Marconi, decided to invent the radio that was eventually commercialized in the 1900s.

Madam Deputy Speaker, it all starts with innovation. An individual can move mountains. The brains we have are God given. I commend Sen. Sakaja for coming up with this Bill because it will help us identify the many young innovative brains that we have in this country and see how we can utilize them in order for them to help us a country.

Madam Deputy Speaker, it is unfortunate that we are talking of people like Sir Alexander Graham Bell, Mr. Heinrich Hertz the physicist, Mr. Guglielmo Marconi and the innovations they did in Europe, yet in Kenya we have many innovators that we have not exploited. We have young men and ladies who can do so much. However, we have not taken time to ensure that we exploit and expand the minds and potential that they have.

Our honour as a Senate is to ensure that this Bill sees the light of day. If the Bill sees the light of day, we will help the young innovative Kenyans who are in universities. Some them are not in universities, but they have the talent. We have to nurture talent. There are some people who are just gifted. They have God-given gifts. They can just sit down and make a plan of how to get money or become an investor, and some of them have not even gone to school. Madam Deputy Speaker, how can we ensure that we ...
