"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. This Motion is timely. I know the Jubilee Government policy is to have, at least, one technical training institute in each county and one technology centre of excellence in each of the counties. For that to be achieved, I believe that the fund is going to assist the youth. We know that if you cannot transit from primary school to secondary school, it is because of lack of school fees. If we set aside the funds â the 1% of our revenue â to assist the youth to acquire loans so that they may go to colleges and read, this will assist them to get skills. Some of us have also benefited from the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) and we have been repaying those loans. HELB has gone a long way in assisting those who are joining universities. If that Fund is set up, it will help our youth to get skills. If you go to the constituencies, especially Marakwet West which I represent, we have built very many schools, health centres and dispensaries. But we travel all the way from Marakwet to Eldoret Town to get skilled labour to make fabricated windows and doors because we do not have welders. We also do not have plumbers. So, the Fund will create employment for our youth in the constituencies because those skills will be acquired locally. That will ensure that the money that we use will circulate within the constituencies."
