    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, upgrading Kitale Technical Institute into a university has many benefits. Of course, I want to thank the Senate for passing the Motion that says every county should have a public university. I want to thank the Jubilee Government for setting aside funds to ensure that every constituency gets a technical institute. That is great news for this country. I want to concur with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology that in as much as we need universities, technical institutes are very important for the growth of this country’s economy. Technicians are needed all over the country. I believe that the technical institutions being established will cater for young Kenyans who are unable to secure direct admission to university. The creation of a university in Trans Nzoia County will be of great help to the people of that county and Kenya as a whole. As we speak, the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination is going on. We have thousands of students who will transit to our institutions of higher learning. The population in this country is increasing. This calls for the creation of universities in the country, not for prestige but as a matter of necessity."
