    "content": "There are inadequate attachment positions for our students once they finish training. It is my hope that when we introduce a Bill on this we shall be able to give NITA more authority. We will also urge the Government to provide attachment places for all the trainees. If we do not do so we shall have half-baked technicians, that is, those who only know of theory. You can learn how to dismantle and assemble the engine of a car, but unless you do it in practice you cannot be called a mechanic. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, soon I will be tabling a Bill which will seek to adequately fund the NITA. It will seek to enable the same organization to increase its number of contributors so that the Fund can have money to train more of our technicians. The Bill will seek to allow NITA to collect levy and impose stiffer penalties on those who fail to contribute. In the same Bill we shall require that for any contractor to offer services or supplies to the Government they will have to be registered with the NITA. This will enable the Fund to have more money which it will use to train more and more staff. It will also remove the control of the training levy from the Finance Bill to the Industrial Training Act. The Bill will urge the Government to provide more attachment places to our trainees so that they are able to manage their businesses properly and not like Governors are running the counties in an imprudent way. I have witnessed this happen. These are people who were begging people for votes and now are moving about with police battalions to protect them. With those few remarks I beg to move and ask hon. Eng. Gumbo to second."
