    "content": "When I was building my house, I did not use top notch constructors. I used these middle level ones. They did a perfect job but if there were to be a problem in that house, I would not sue the person, or demand my rights as somebody whose work has been messed up. The board is going to regulate this group of people that has been neglected for a long time. We will be able to inspect their work, regulate it and say that these are young people who are getting jobs because they are now professionally recognised. A body such as this is good enough for them because it will make them more professional. All the professions in this country, or all over the world, have middle level professionals in their areas; we have cited doctors here. You have a surgeon and then you have those who are technologists dealing with medical issues at a lower level. Then, you have much lower ones. Community nurses are also there and they are all recognised as medical professionals. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the same applies to teachers where we have early childhood development (ECD) teachers, primary school teachers, secondary school teachers, college level teachers, and university teachers. They are all recognised as teachers and have professional bodies. That is why it is necessary for the low level technologists and artisans to be recognised within a body proposed in this Bill. I support this Bill because people who belong to the body referred to here are Kenyans whose professions must be recognised even at their level of education. I would like to thank Hon. Cecilia because this Bill has come at a time when Kenya is moving towards industrialisation. To be industrialised, we need to consider the role of technologists and technicians. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
