    "content": "because of the challenges that arise due to lack of school fees. The less advantaged institutions of families are unable to further education. However, they can do so within such institutions. Once, they are properly set up and funded as it is provided for in the Bill, they will expand their knowledge and interest in the areas where such students are interested in pursuing. The training in such institutions are largely practical rather than theory. The provisions of the Bill will also give an opportunity to those who have certain expertise and knowledge, without necessarily having gone through recognized institutions. As it has been stated by one Member here, experiences will be recognized. The person who has previous experience or expertise within a certain area will have to be certified in order to move beyond where they have reached in their academic quests. I laud the Bill under the provisions of Part 3. It recognizes and provides for annual governance report. The institution will be managed at the county level. It also provides that the institution, through its Board of Management (BoM), will be expected to give an annual governance report. This will give an opportunity, not only for the institution, but the public at large to ensure that the institution is governed in a manner that is recognized, and gives opportunity to the public to participate. By extension, the public resources that are invested in the institution should be properly utilized and accounted for. I laud Sen. M. Kajwang’ for ensuring that that provision is available in the Bill. I encourage that in the same Part 3, where there is the creation of the BoM of the institution. In this case, the number has been given and how it is to be set up. I wish that the Senator introduces a provision where this BoM mandate can extend to the creation of income generating sectors within the training departments. The BoMs should be created as investment forums where the mandate of the Board, if it allows, can be utilized by the institution so that the institution can earn not only to the benefit of the students but to that particular institution itself."
