"content": "level skilled manpower. This manpower would have been used to discover, invent and produce such sources of power. But we have killed most of our institutions, some of which were training engineers who would have gone into developing some of these reactors. Reclaiming them from various universities becomes a problem. We need to study the skilled manpower in South Korea. How are they training their people? If there are ten Kenyans there, like I have read in the report, how many more can they engage in terms of offering scholarships? Can we move towards that direction? Can we improve our diplomatic relations so that we can have more scholarships offered to Kenyans? More Kenyans should be trained at the Nuclear Institute. When they are trained, what contract will they have signed with the Kenyan authorities so that they can come back? When people are trained, they get better paying jobs elsewhere and they never come back. We have seen quite a number of Kenyans migrating from here. They get better jobs in South Korea, the USA and many other countries and leave. If we can pay them better salaries and put up some of these stations, I am sure Kenyans will take pride in their country and find it better to work here. This is something that should be explored. Let us not just wait, debate, compare and travel. When we come from such travel, these are the kinds of things we should do. After this, we should implement recommendations of this report. We should go into the details and see whether we can put up one institute or incorporate or borrow a department from South Korea. We could also have some Koreans come here and start a department on nuclear physics or science. That is how we start off. But without that, we will not forge ahead. If we want to talk about industrialization as envisaged in Vision 2030, it is only that route that will help us achieve that goal."
