Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Dagoretti South MP John Kiarie wants two per cent of monies allocated to NG-CDF and Uwezo Fund to go towards equipping artisans with skills, technology and tools.<\/p>\n

In a motion in the National Assembly, Kiarie wants the House to resolve that the government formulates a policy to ring-fence the allocation.<\/p>\n

The MP said there are many talents among the youth, which have been severally displayed through various interventions and innovations by artisans in platforms such as the Annual Youth Innovation Week and profiled on social media and traditional media.<\/p>\n

He, however, said most of these innovations and artworks do not go beyond making sensational stories in their localities, local dailies and social media mentions.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of these innovations and artworks are crucial in ideas promotion, intellectual development and at creating employment and addressing the problems that affect us as Kenyans daily,\u201d Kiarie said.<\/p>\n

In cognisant of Kenya Vision 2030 which seeks to make the country an industrialised middle-income economy in the next nine years, the motion’s support would bring forth a huge impact on the utility of resources available and especially to the young generation, he said.<\/p>\n

The MP’s motion demonstrates the immense potential for wealth creation and job opportunities through local production generated if the well-developed and commercialised.<\/p>\n

Kiarie acknowledged that possibility of reducing the import of products by Sh2 billion as most of the imports are not relevant to the Kenyan market.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt continues to support the utility of home-made technology as it will be region sensitive and appropriate for the environment and social economic dynamics suitability,\u201d Kiarie said.<\/p>\n

He said by formulating a policy resolved by the House via the appropriate ministry, there will be capital, appropriate technology, skills and tools to bring the motion to life.<\/p>\n
