    "content": "talking of 300,000 who are not going to join universities. In Kenya, something is also going wrong. All of us want to go to the university. We have middle level colleges yet we do not have enough technicians. We lack technicians. You realize that a place like Kisumu, you would rather get technicians from across the border, namely, Uganda. Why would we get technicians from Uganda in things like masonry and carpentry? This is because in Kenya we only value university education and we do not have room for technical colleges and certificates. We can start from whatever level. We should try to strengthen our middle level colleges and village polytechnics so that Kenyans can value it. Sometimes you realize that parents would rather take their children very far leaving the very good village polytechnics where their children can join without the issue of boarding to cut cost on education. Further, I would also like to take this opportunity to raise the issue of insecurity in this country. You know what has happened in Kisumu and it is a sad thing. We should look at what happened in Kisii, how the policemen treated the students using live bullets and even raping female students. That is another abuse against women in this country. I do not know for how long we are going to talk about insecurity and how we should treat our citizens in this country. If you look at what is happening between Nyakach and Kericho, you clearly see that it is man made. I do not think it is about cattle rustling. On Saturday, I was in Kisumu with the Member for Nyakach attending a funeral. He even showed me an SMS; he had already alerted the police because there was an eminent attack on the people of Nyakach. It was reported and nothing was done. Come two o’clock, we had six people dead."
