    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I support the Bill that will enhance skills improvement. When you talk of industrialization, there is no way you can do it without recourse to skilled manpower who are properly trained in institutions that are recognized by county governments. I must sound a warning that county governments must not pay a lip service to the investments in the infrastructure and the standards in this vocational training centers. They should not be seen just as other centers. They should be seen as serious educational centers that will give skills and efforts to our people to plant other things. Finally, one of the things that I must caution is that once this is done, the enormous amount when you talk about village incubation centers, the national Government policy has rolled out. The only way this can have a meaningful purpose for our people is for those village incubation centers to start at the village level when you have properly trained skilled manpower. The electricians, we have rolled out rural electrification. You do not have the maintenance to carry out. Madam Temporary Speaker, we need simple craftsmen who are trained in electrical wiring and putting these small little services to the people. There are enormous benefits that are accrued from this. All these children who may not find their way to the university, those who have an aptitude. That is why even when I was in that Ministry, I created talent academies to help children who have special interest towards a particular level that they should be absorbed in these microenterprises through skilled training and provision so that they can move forward. There is much that we can speak about this topic. It is so heavy and important for this nation. If we want this nation to create jobs, the way to go is to have a robust technical training institutions that churn out very well skilled manpower to help us create those jobs and wealth for this nation. With those few remarks, I second this Bill. I beg to second."
