    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I see two models. There is the model that is the UK School of Government which simply emphasizes on development of public policy and management training for the UK civil service. So, it simply trains the public service of the United Kingdom. It also provides research. That is one model. There is this other model like the Harvard Kennedy School which, apart from dealing with the public servants, they also invite men and women who wish in future to render service to their country. They can also invite businessmen and women, or even people who wish to have a career in the civil service in future. I want also the Minister to think of the model in France which allows someone at some point to undertake industrial training, but also to train in politics and Government. So, it is not restricted to public service alone. Why do I say so? Some of the top people who are being appointed into Government institutions have not been career civil servants. I am even referring to the recent appointment I heard over the radio, of the new Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya. Some of them developed their own capacities in the private sector and then at some point, having felt that they had already done enough for themselves, they offered themselves to the Public Service. What better preparation can I have as a person who has been in private law practice, for example, than to be admitted to a school of Government to study and know the systems of Government before I make myself available for a Government job in the future. So, this is where I want us to start thinking together with the Minister."
