    "content": "I am concerned about examination standards in Clause 4. This is what is ailing the Kenyan education system. Everything is about examination. Let us walk away from examination standards and find something else more useful. As I finish, I would like to urge you to visit that college in Mbooni Constituency. I propose that we have the same standards found there all over the country. Konza Techno City will have the Kenya Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), which will teach innovation. It is what you want to do here. In doing vocational education, we must also include innovation. We have mentioned it here, but let us give a little more prominence. We are not just teaching people to do skills, but to be innovative as well. I was given the title “Konza Innovation Champion” because I brought young people to do very a simple innovation. A young man from Dandora slums, sponsored by Sen. Sakaja, beat Class Eight pupils. He had never seen a laptop in his life, but when he was given an opportunity to innovate a compass, small thermometer in a computer, he was able to beat many students. Congratulations to Sen. (Dr.) Milgo for this very important Bill. It is a solution. If I seat in Makueni County, this is one process that I would emphasize on because it is the solution and answer to the cry by young people, that we are not including and training them. It is not a contradiction to have a young man with a degree in engineering and he has another skill. That is what I saw in Germany and what Sen. Cheruiyot is referring to. You have a degree in Business Management, but you also have another skill through vocational training. I support."
