    "content": "Sessional Papers are very important documents, or instruments that provide us with the roadmap to move this country forward to a level where we will be are competitive, and able to catch up with the forerunners, or the developed countries of this world. The importance of this Paper cannot really be gainsaid. To an extent, the first paper that we had as a country in 1965 grounded this country in terms of where it should go. Although fault lines which developed in terms of making some parts of this country marginalised because of the focus it had, we really thank those forbearers of our country who provided the impetus from the beginning on how we should move forward as a country. In this particular one, human capital is the most important resource for any country, industry or any institution. We have been able to provide our human resource to Uganda, Rwanda, Botswana, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and many other countries. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what has lacked for many years are instruments to guide the bureaucrats working in Government and different departments as far as checking the growth of human development is concerned. Over the last few days when the President of the United States of America was in our country, one thing that was clearly demonstrated to the world is the human capital and Kenya being competitive. If we so desire and if we all wake up and do our bit, we will be able to place Kenya among the competitive nations. Without focusing on the human capital production, we will not be able to do that. With those few remarks, I beg to support. Thank you."
