    "The hope for Kenya lies in ICT research, where young people have shown strong innovation potential. However, it is sad that the Finance Bill appears to discourage research and innovation, especially in ICT-the very sector expected to solve everyday problems. While there is talk of investing 2% of GDP in research, the actions seem contradictory. The concern is whether Kenya is truly building a “Silicon Savannah” or undermining the very environment needed to achieve it."-Felicity Nkirote, Governance Expert #TV47Breakfast #StoryNiYetu Thank you for watching this video.
