    "content": "There was also a question about the funding of research and the integration of ICT in learning institutions. She said that the introduction of ICT in learning institutions is key if Kenya is to become an industrialized nation by 2030. She also added that there is need to embrace ICT right from the stare of learning. However, she noted that the laptop project is competing with other projects in the education sector; she said that dialogue should be engaged with stakeholders in order to decide how best this can be achieved. On the implementation of the Science, Technology and Innovation Act, 2013 and the TIVET Act, 2013 she said that if appointed Principal Secretary, she will ensure that the Science, Technology and Innovation Act, 2013 and TIVET Act 2013 are operationalised. She noted that there was need to operationalise the TIVET Authority in order to regulate science, technology and innovation. She further added that she will ensure that the technical curriculum is modernized to respond to the changing times and market needs. When it went through the interview of the two candidates, the Committee was impressed and very happy that the President chose these two candidates to be Principal Secretaries in this Ministry of Education. We are hoping that the two are going to do a good job and reward the President by performing to their best and to bring change that is required now in the education sector. I would like to stop there. My recommendation is that pursuant to Article 155(3) of the Constitution and Standing Order No.45, this House supports these two nominees of His Excellency the President. I beg to move and I ask my colleague, hon. Simba, to support this Motion. I urge the House to approve Dr. Kipsang and Prof. Colleta Suda as Principal Secretaries in the Ministry of Education."
