    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker I rise to support this Motion. I thank hon. Jude for having brought this Motion at this time. The issues in this Motion are national. This House ought to take this Motion seriously and in fact go ahead and make it Bill. This country needs our youth to be trained. We need an industrial training institute so that we cater for our youth. It is only that way that we will develop this country. Many people have talked about training of the youth. I realize that in the rural areas we lack fundis . We are now going out to look for old men who have retired to come back and do this work. Hon. Njomo has raised two issues in this Motion. He talked of this money that should be contributed by employers. However, they have relaxed and they are not contributing it. He also talked about the SMEs which should contribute towards industrial training of the youth. The Government should come out clearly on this. One time I went to exile. During that time my children lacked school fees. I was away for about six years. They could not complete school. When I came back I had no choice but to take these children to industrial training in Nakuru. I do not know whether that institution is still working or not. Three of my children went through this training. I have never regretted that move. They have become very important people and they assist me greatly. Some of them are mechanics and others electricians. When we started our transport company, they are doing very well. So, really, we need industrial training if we want to develop Kenya. This issue should be taken to the relevant Committee which should come up with details more than what we have here. We need industrial training centres in this country to cater for our children. I strongly support."
