    "content": "that they are the future of tomorrow, but these days we say that they are the future of now. We are educating them and there is no need to focus so much on formal education, but also move to Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). Mr. Speaker, Sir, the TVET Bill is on the Order Paper today, pushing for the agenda of both technical and vocational training. Such training will instill into people skills that they can use. There are certain countries that have now expanded because, they have bloomed this sector. The bulk of our workforce that goes out - apart from white collar jobs and qualifications - are mainly skilled in technical areas. The TVET is important in enhancing thinking through facilities, how people put things into place and how they can progress and push their agenda. We would not have got where we are without the National Vaccination Plan (NVP) across the board. Approximately 16 million people have been covered and so many others still need to be covered. As I end, there is need for continuous Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to continue bringing in taxes as projected. In 2020, Kshs1.52 trillion was projected to be collected. This is what should trickle down and service various key sectors. I see my time is up and just to sum up, I support you in giving thanks to this particular report. As Kenya continues to develop, we have the policy plan, blue print and the way forward. As the President said, there is no reason why we cannot be Singapore, Malaysia or the Asian Tigers that have made this progression. They actually copied and implemented our Sessional Development Plan (SDP). We are getting where we can identify and tie up the gaps. We look forward to reaching the progress that we so seek to find. As we admire where the Asian Tigers are, we are also moving to get there as a country."
