    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also add my voice to the statements from Sen. Beth Syengo and Sen. Wakoli on the issue of pending bills and capitation of Technical Training Institutions (TTIs). We know very well that TTIs and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVETs) are integral and important institutions that offer skilled labour to our young men and women within the counties. Therefore, we need to focus on them. The capitation from the national Government through the Ministry of Education is a very important programme that needs to be observed. The national Government need to look into it and ensure that students in these institutions are paid that money, so that we do not have problems of skill. We are all aware that students admitted to these institutions have low grades. Therefore, we are expected to have skilled labourers in our factories in the counties. The issue of pending bills is a big problem in our counties. However, we do not have a focused and programmed way to handle pending bills in our counties. It is upon this House to come up with a procedure on how to handle these problems, once and for all. I appreciate that hon. Sen. Olekina has come up with a Bill that will assist us to fast-track settling of pending bills, which have caused a lot of problems and harm to our people in the country. Our business people and contractors are owed a lot of money by both the county government and national Government. They have continued to suffer losses. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support these two Statements. I thank you for the time that you have given me."
