    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for also giving me the opportunity to also speak to this Bill and thank you for your kind words which we have noted. Allow me to begin with the provisions of this Bill on the question of obligations of the county governments which to be clear, I support. One of the things that you will notice is that the Report of the Committee at page 12 has noted that the TVET sector is inadequately resourced and that there is no financing policy by the two levels of Government on these particular vocational trainings. My worry is that we need to clearly provide for how we are going to source funding for these vocational centres. The training infrastructure, equipment, and learning and training resources, that is essentially teachers and lecturers, are all the responsibility of county governments. Under Clause 5(e), counties will provide funds necessary for the development of vocational education and training centres."
