    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, first, that is not a point of order. Be it as it may, let me say this: I have no government yet. When I form my own government, I will be held to account about the functions and the CSs who will be in my government. Secondly is to continue insisting that we need to divorce. If you look at the fights that used to take place - I do not know why Sen. Wetangula is just mentioning Moi University - he knows my position at that time. Thank you very much for that. There was a time the fight in the University of Nairobi was about this tribe is in charge of this and this is in charge of that. The same to Kenyatta University and Maseno University. All these universities have gone through this problem of ethnic profiling. Every time a new CS comes, he wants to change the council, board and the senate and everywhere to suit particular tribal inclinations. Madam Deputy Speaker, you know it is Kenyans who encourage this behavior. If you ask Kenyans, can you vote for so and so to become President of Kenya? They tell you, no. Let me say it in Kiswahili. They say hata hakusaidia watu wake - He did not help his people. If you put your people everywhere then everybody says huyo ni mtumzuri - He is a good man because he put everybody who comes from his tribe in this and that place. That behavior should come to an end. We must treat university, colleges and training institutions in a professional manner. Any person who comes from anywhere - I agree with Sen. Wetangula - a vocational training college should accommodate any student from any part of the country and train them in any county to get the skills they require. This is so that when we talk about bottom up approach to economic growth, we have the necessary skills. By the way this is in the ‘Hustlers’ manifesto. This is the key principle that we want to pursue. The Deputy President who was a former Minister in the same Ministry you succeeded is always a great champion for this level of education. That is vocational and technical training institutions because this is where we should go."
