    "content": "Hon. Speaker I will take one minute to reply. I want to dispel the fear that--- I am sure all of us in our constituencies, people are opening the so-called colleges in make-shift kiosks and write: “Diploma in Computer.” Our parents pay huge amounts of money for that education; only to be told that, that certificate is not recognized. What this Bill is trying to do is to create a standard way of recognizing qualifications obtained in Kenya and even outside Kenya. There are parents who send their children to India to do law and when they come back, they are told by the Kenya School of Law that they cannot be allowed to do diploma in law to become an advocate. Some go out to do medicine and when they come back they are told: “No! You will not go for internship.” What is this Bill trying to do? It is going to bring a standard way or recognizing qualifications obtained in Kenya and even outside. Two, it is developing a system of competence, life-long learning process and, above all, it is giving us value for our money. I am sure this is the second reading of a Bill and you can oppose it or agree with it. If you oppose the Bill and you have issues with it, then at the Committee of the Whole House, you can bring the required necessary amendments that will enrich it. That is because, at the end of the day, we want the Bill that will go for assent to be a Bill that will carry all of us. With those many remarks, I beg to reply."
