    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, if you can remember, there was a time--- First of all, I beg to second. There is a time that Human Resource (HR) practitioners never used to have a professional body. I remember many years ago when we were serving in the National Assembly, HR practitioners approached us and said that there are lawyers, quantity surveyors, doctors and so on and so forth. All these are old and well established professions. The HR profession has come of age in this country and in other jurisdictions. The HR practitioners have their own boards. They ensure ethical standards and such kind of things. They requested us to help them have this law in place. I cannot recall exactly which Member of Parliament (MP) was working on that, but I actively participated in bringing up the law that created a professional body for HR practitioners. In this case, we are speaking about professionals in the hospitality industry and Kenya is well known. If you go to many East African countries, you will find that professionals who are running those big hotels are from Kenya. Madam Temporary Speaker, you will remember that a few years ago when we went to South Sudan for the games, in most of those hotels, managers, assistant managers and caterers were people who were trained at the Kenya Utalii College here. During its heydays, the Kenya Utalii College used to produce many professionals who have gone to serve with distinction across East Africa and the rest of Africa.
