The focus on innovation this past week culminating in Jamhuri Day celebrations could not have been more timely.
It is time though that we turned these into the source of our economic progress. All Kenyans have the potential of being innovators in their different spaces. It is time to get back to the science congresses that used to be held in the past, encourage the establishment of innovation clubs from the primary school level and infuse an entrepreneurial and innovation culture along the entire education chain. It is also important that the scouting for and facilitation of innovations recognise that technology is an enabler of and not equivalent to innovations. Consequently, the passage of the Startup Bill and reinvigoration of the agencies that exist in the innovation space are critical. The Science and Technology and Innovation Act provides for the establishment of incubation hubs and incubation parks to provide space and support for the nurturing of ideas.
