    "content": " That is the kind of information that all Members who are contributing to this should be aware of. They should be aware of these definitions. You will discover the kind of debate that we have on the Floor of the House since this started is indicative of the fact that Members are not clear on what kind of artisans we are talking about. The way this Motion is drafted needed to have indicated the definition of an artisan so that it can guide Members during the debate. Members are thinking that an artisan is a cartoonist or people who are in the music industry and if you look at the discussion, this is where the problem is. If you look at it in a strict sense of what we are talking about, there are people who are artisans through their individual career development. They do trade tests and have the opportunity to undertake the technical level and then they have to undertake the professional level. With that being said, if you look at it this way, then there are those who are already placed. Alternatively, there are those who have learnt through being apprentices. They are in the j ua kali, in markets such as Gikomba or in other informal places where they have learnt and developed skills under a professional or through people with technical know-how. These are the people that we need to consider when we are talking about resourcing. This would mean that we do not need to target an existing fund that has a purpose, but instead target funds that are isolated for this particular skill. This is what I intended to guide the House on as we move forward."
