"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would also like to support this Motion on BPS, particularly with the amendments that have been moved. The issue of polytechnics is very important. It is very key, when we are looking at ways to occupy our youth. The funds that have been recommended for the revamping of polytechnics are very welcome. As it is has been said, it works out to roughly Kshs5 million per constituency. At this point in time, it is very welcome because some of the polytechnics that I have visited are lacking quite a number of facilities. They would really benefit from this support. We also need to look at the staff in those polytechnics. If there are any set of instructors that have been neglected, they are those who teach in the polytechnics. They are poorly remunerated and poorly looked after. If those are the places we are hoping to take our children for purposes of getting skills that will enable them to self employed, then we need to look at that cadre as well. The quicker we do that the better."
