    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity. I would like to comment on the second Petition in relation to the training institutes, which by the Constitution, have been devolved to counties. It is not just in Nyeri County, but it has happened to many other parts of the country. It is a matter that touch all the counties. However, the decision made on the Petition from Nyeri will give a direction to other counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, getting these training institutes to an international level where their training can be useful to the young people is very important. The technology where young people learn in what previously used to be polytechnics in the counties and acquire skills is important. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the constructions which are going on nationwide, from private individuals and Government institutions, you find that at times, you cannot get a plumber or an electrician. We are now doing solar. However, there are no people to deal with the solar technology in the villages. So, this is very important and should be handled as an economic stimulus. It should be handled fast so that these skills are passed on to the young people. We have 100 per cent transition to secondary schools. After secondary school, many people transit to the universities, but we also have many people who want to acquire skills. However, due to the high cost of living, people would like to acquire these skills in the nearest possible institution to them, where they can attend college and you go back home in the evening. It would be ideal for many parents."
