    "content": "Youth polytechnics play a very big role in this country. We have seen some of the products that come from the polytechnics. We encourage young people to pursue education. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, those who do not get a chance to go to university should continue to the polytechnics and the Technical Training Institutions (TTIs) that are at the bottom most part of our society. So, if we treat such instructors in this manner, what hope do we have for people who are studying to impart these skills? As the Kenya Kwanza Government, our priority has been on equipping young people with skills so that they are self-reliant. As the good Senator for Mombasa mentioned, in the housing programme that we have been talking about, priority will be given to young people who are partaking training in the youth polytechnics, TTIs and the vocational training centres. So, as a House, we need to pronounce ourselves on this matter. It should not take many years to pay instructors Kshs2,790. It has taken more than 10 years for them to be compensated. They have gone to court using money and there is no redress. It is a sad scenario. So, I support this Petition with my two feet. I am a very frustrated young person speaking this afternoon."
