THAT, aware that Article 11(2)(b) of the Constitution provides that the government shall recognize the role of science and indigenous technologies in the development of the nation; further aware that the Vision 2030 provides for the integration of information, communication and technology in the country’s transformative agenda; concerned that there exists no science museum for consolidating indigenous scientific and technological innovations, training and research purposes in the East Africa Region; appreciating that integration of science and technology would greatly enhance Kenya’s economic and societal success; noting that there is potential for growth in the technology sector by establishing a science museum; further noting that the informal science education plays a key role in the progression of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM); acknowledging that science museums operate as the nexus between science practitioners, policy-makers and the public; cognizant of the fact that a science museum in the country would greatly impact on the economy of the country in the quest to become an industrialized nation; now therefore, this House resolves that, the national Government through the relevant Ministries established and operationalizes a science museum in the country.
