"content": "Technical University of Kenya, located opposite the Kenya Revenue Authority. It was a very strong technical college, but has since been upgraded. The Government came up with a very good initiative of TVETs. They even came up with an idea whereby the students are provided with loans to enable them acquire the necessary skills. What Hon. Njomo is proposing is a sound idea which we need to support so that these students are fully supported. Otherwise, we will always have a gap in terms of human resources in technical skills. If you can remember when we were doing the Tullow oil pipeline in Turkana, we required specialised skills in welding. You know welding an oil pipeline is not like welding normal metal grills, but you need specialised skills. Actually, we had to import welders from outside this country to do that job! It is a big shame for this country that almost 60 years after Independence, we are unable to provide a person who can weld an oil pipeline. I wish to support what Hon. Njomo has just proposed. I think this particular clause has to be retained. Thank you."
