    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker and Hon. Members. On the issue of availability of students to the existing MTCs, I would like to seek the indulgence of Members that we look at this as a production and development value chain of health professionals in the country. Hon. Members, the courses that are being taught at KMTC are technical courses, and for us to have competent and quality trained health professionals, we need to have a patient to trainee ratio that is optimum. These students need hospitals where they can go and do their practicum. We do not want to have half-baked trainees and, therefore, it is a delicate balance. We do not pray that Kenyans get sick so that they can go to hospitals for us to achieve the patient to trainee ratio, but we shall work within the existing facilities. I seek the indulgence of Members to allow us to equip and operationalise the existing colleges without starting new ones so that we can improve on the quality. This will ensure that even as students come out of training colleges, they can access employment."
