    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a very timely Bill which seeks to align TVET institutions, establishment and management to the Constitution of Kenya 2010. In the Constitution, TVET has been devolved to county governments as a function. I am happy that we are discussing this Bill on a day that the world is celebrating the World Youth Skills Day. With very high unemployment rate, we need to rethink our institutions which offer skills in connection to the job market. We need to offer skills that are important to the job market. Now that you have given me a very short time, let me speak to very few areas. I will touch on budget allocation to TVET institutions by county governments. I will also look at public awareness; county government involvement in establishment and management of TVET institutions, courses offered and market links; national Government policies, technology and monitoring and evaluation of TVET institutions. It is important for county governments to allocate a bigger percentage of their education allocation to TVET institutions. These are former village polytechnics.
