    "content": "We have many youths who are jobless in this country. This is one of the greatest challenges in this country right now. These vocational centres can handle the training of these people and even provide artisans for external markets. Most of the countries in the developed world both in the Far East, Europe and others do not have people to do manual jobs like plumbing. We can train these people and provide a solution to the job market out there. We will also create employment for our people and provide a solution to joblessness. This Bill urges the counties to put the necessary resources into these vocational institutions. It is a very important Bill that also identifies trainers and is all-inclusive because it talks about People with Disabilities (PWDs) so that nobody is left behind as we try to take care of people at that lower level. This Bill has addressed quite a number of issues even in terms of the relationship between the national and county governments; the involvement of the Cabinet Secretaries (CS) in policy formulation and the County Executive Committee Members (CECMs) in terms of accreditation and registration of these institutions. I support that this is a very important Bill that helps us address employment challenges, the gaps in our education system and take care of all people and not necessarily those who perform well in schools. These are very crucial services in society that we will need and that can be taken care of by the vocational training centres. I do agree that one, two or three amendments can enhance the benefits of this Bill. So I hope that Sen. M. Kajwang’ who is listening very keenly will take care of the few concerns that have been raised by Members. I thank you"
