this house believe that investing in youth driven technological inovation is the key to tz future propersity

You're confusing investment priority with causation. Yes, youth-driven innovation matters, but betting *everything* on it ignores what actually creates prosperity: infrastructure, education access, and stable institutions. Rwanda can't innovate its way out of poor roads or weak rule of law. Countries like Singapore prospered through disciplined governance first, then innovation followed. Your argument assumes youth have the capital, mentorship, and market conditions to innovate meaningfully. They don't, without the foundation you're skipping. You're romanticizing disruption while ignoring that most breakthrough innovations require decades of institutional knowledge. Why should Tanzania pour resources into moonshot tech startups when basic literacy rates and agricultural productivity yield faster, broader returns?
