    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion due to its importance. I would like to reiterate an issue that Sen. Wako pointed out. Right from the colonial times, human rights development issues, especially matters of administration, were always taken seriously by the national Government. Therefore, the Kenya Institute of Administration stands out as such an institution. We will also remember that during that time, we also had regional training in states. I remember that in my own county of Kisumu, we had a Government Training Institute (GTI) at Maseno which was specifically for training in matters of Administration Management. Later, most of these institutions were taken up by the universities and the training institute in Maseno became Maseno University. I am quite sure that this phenomenon occurred in other counties as well. I would like to point out that in supporting this Motion there is no contradiction in having a county government training institute supported by the national Government. At the same time, there is no contradiction in counties under this national training institute making arrangements for human resource development with other institutions within the counties particularly the universities and opening up training institutes within the universities specifically geared towards developing human resources for county management and administration. This is a common practice in many countries particularly in the US. You may find that in every state, there is a university that is contracted by the state to open up a specialized institute for purposes of human resources development for that state. This is a practice that could be encouraged and nurtured by the county governments training institutes so that the issue of human resources development does not become a problem in counties. Referring to the Motion, I would like to quote from it extensively, especially one particular part which is very important. It says among other things; “further noting that the Government established a training institute for civil servants in 1956 to impart relevant knowledge, skills, attitudes, leadership and management competencies that are required for efficient and effective service delivery--- ;” Managing society of Government is not something that is acquired by instinct. It is something that is acquired by training. This is because a lot of things that are dealt with in administration management are not germane to the normal mind. They do not exist beforehand or aforethought. However intelligent you are, you must receive from received or existing knowledge. That is why all these law books are here to tell us what laws exist in this country. That is why people are trained in law not only to develop such laws but also to interpret them. The same is true of management. There is a discipline called Management Science. The same is true of administration. There is a discipline called Administration Science which is a science on"
